About the NAA Momento

To add distinction to the prestige of NAA, a specially designed memento for Distinction and Merit recipients was commissioned in 2024. The memento is the first-of-its-kind at NUS, and produced in partnership with NUS Design Incubation Centre. The thoughtful design reflects an evolutive function – which mirrors the same spirit of how all your achievements today are not an end point but part of a journey of moulding towards a better version of ourselves.
