TARC and Nokia signs a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)

28 October 2010 is indeed another memorable day for TARC and Nokia. It is the day where TARC and Nokia, the industry leader in mobile solutions signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and sponsorship agreement to crystallize existing partnership on joint initiative of green effort.

The joint initiative signed by Dr. Tan Chik Heok, Principal of TAR College, and Mr. Francis Cheong, Senior Sustainability Manager of Nokia SEAP.

The MoU is aimed at further strengthening the education-industrial linkage between TAR College and Nokia. It is a testimony of the commitment and collaboration between two organizations in enhancing the student curriculum framework towards preparing a socially responsible and well rounded future leaders.

Mr. Lee Hwee Chuin, Head of School of Social Science and Humanities, Dr. Tan Chik Heok, Principal of TARC and Mr. Francis Cheong, Senior Sustainability Manager of Nokia SEAP together with the Ambassadors of Nokia 

The success of ECOnnect, a phone recycling awareness campaign collaborated between TAR College and Nokia held last August, wouldn't have come this far without the help from you, the public. Students of TAR College managed to collect a total of 796 used phones from the public.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their great effort.
