Emeritus Professor Chew Chong Lin to the NUS Faculty of Dentistry, an endowed Undergraduate bursary was initiated by Associate Professor (A\/P) Jennifer Neo. Through her unstinting efforts, passion and determination, A\/P Neo successfully garnered support from over 150 alumni and friends to raise over $800,000 to date. The bursary aims to provide financial aid to needy undergraduates from the Faculty.<u><br \/><br \/><\/u><strong>About Emeritus Professor Chew Chong Lin<\/strong><\/p><p align=\"justify\">Prof Chew has a long and distinguished career following his graduation\u00a0in 1971 with a Bachelor in Dental Surgery at the then University of Singapore. He served in numerous appointments at the Faculty of Dentistry, NUS, which includes Dean (1995 &#8211; 2000), Vice Dean (1980 \u2013 1983), Head of Department of Prosthetic Dentistry (1980 &#8211; 1983; 1985 &#8211; 1990), Head of Department of Restorative Dentistry (April 1990 &#8211; 2000) and Director of the Graduate School of Dental Studies (1986 &#8211; 2012).<\/p><p align=\"justify\">Prof Chew started the compulsory Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP), a milestone addition to the curriculum that has since introduced generations of dental students to the research process so critical to our practice.
