We're proud to share that two Class of 2013 Theatre alumni - Tyen Rasif and Zahra Khanum - were finalists for this year's Miss Universe Singapore (MUS) pageant. We're even more stoked to celebrate Zahra's crowning as Miss Universe Singapore 2018! Zahra, who recently graduated from NUS with a degree in sociology, will represent Singapore at the international Miss Universe pageant on 17 December this year.

Tyen and Zahra's motivations in joining MUS were both inspiring in their own ways - Tyen championed fitness, while Zahra would like to give back to society, especially children. We're extremely proud of you ladies, and thank you both for being such role models to your juniors here at SOTA.
