His vision for a "successful" NUS student is defined by three parts: Success beyond themselves, for their country, for their people, and for their future.

It's not just about doing well individually.

To Chan, it's about how these graduates go beyond themselves to help Singapore continue to defy the odds of history and become "a shining beacon" across the world, not just in Southeast Asia.

Next, a "successful" NUS graduate should be defined by how well they uplift the less privileged, and perhaps less talented, in order to forge solidarity in the face of forces that threaten to divide people.

Finally, he also considers success in terms of how they are able to enable the next generation to surpass previous generations.

"If NUS students can embody this spirit of being successful beyond themselves, for the country, for our people, and for our future, I think NUS and NUS students would have done Singapore a great service for many generations to come."
Any student can be successful. So why did he make it exclusive just for NUS Students?
