Professor Arnoud De Meyer, Singapore Management University (SMU)’s fourth and longest serving President, has been conferred the University’s highest honour - SMU University Professorship - at a farewell and handover ceremony held at SMU Hall today. He is the first in SMU to be conferred this title. The SMU University Professorship is the highest appointment bestowed on a very select number of faculty to recognise significant accomplishments in research, eminent careers, and outstanding contributions to the University, the profession and the community. University Professors are recognised nationally and internationally for the importance of their scholarly and/or professional achievements. They will also have demonstrated the breadth of interest characteristically encompassed by the traditional role of scholar, teacher, and public servant. In addition, they will have brought distinction to the University resulting from these activities.
