As part of SUSS’ commitment to championing lifelong and continuous learning for all, the Student SUcceSS Centre in SUSS has developed the 3H Series, a signature speaker series that exemplifies the university's core educational philosophy of "Head, Heart, Habit."
The 3H Series serves as a dynamic platform that fosters the exchange of expertise, experiences, and perspectives among a diverse array of speakers from both local and international backgrounds. With an emphasis on social entrepreneurship and societal leadership, this initiative is dedicated to delving into significant areas of interest, encompassing both local and global societal trends, critical issues, and social impact endeavours. The panel of speakers is comprised of esteemed individuals representing external organisations from both domestic and international spheres, alongside respected members of the SUSS faculty, dedicated staff, accomplished students, and alumni.
