"Education is not about filling a pail. It is about lighting a fire." Speaking at the NUS Business School BBA Alumni Reunion (Classes of 2000 to 2007) on 23 November 2007, Professor Christopher Earley, then Dean of the NUS Business School, shared one of his favorite quotes from William Yates to inspire the 100 alumni present to keep the fire burning. The event, held at Forbidden City Indochine, Clarke Quay, saw alumni and guests enjoy the company of friends over free flow of food and drinks. "It's a really meaningful event especially because we get to catch up with our friends and even make new ones," said Ms Jolyn Neo (BBA 2003). Lucky alumni also found themselves winning prizes ranging from Sony's PlayStation Portable (PSP) to a Samsung 19' LCD TV through games that encouraged interaction and camaraderie. Aptly themed "It's My School", the event gave a preview of the new NUS Business School building. The result of an online vote for the "Favorite Professor Award" was also announced, with the award going to Associate Professor Ravi Chandran. It being an alumni event did not stop current NUS Business School undergraduates from attending to network with their seniors. Said Mr Yang Zhi Wei, a current year two student, "It's a great opportunity for us to get to know our seniors." Though the event officially ended at ten that night, many stayed on "for old times sake", as aptly stated by Mr Chris Yap (BBA 2003).
