Right now, staying in touch with Sheares means having a few group chats that slowly fade. There is no shared home, no way to come back for a game and no easy path to meet the people who lived the same Sheares experience as you.
Sheares, with a lineage back to the Dunearn Road Hostels in 1952, has had no form of unified alumni association.
The SHAC gives you a structured way to stay connected: a cross-batch network, and a way to stay close to the community you helped build. Open to every batch since 1952.
Join a chapter, an alumni-run group for whatever drew you in: a sport, a performing art, music or volunteering. Never played pickleball? Now's the time.
A Sheares professional network: mentorship across batches and reunions with people who already know you.
Stay close to how the hall is changing and what the current batches are up to.
Free to join. The chapters, the Sheares network, and a founding place on the record.
The SHAC works on a hub-and-spoke model: the SHAC is the hub, and chapters are the spokes. A chapter is a group of alumni who keep doing something Sheares does together — a sport, a supper table, a performing art, volunteering. Each runs its own sessions; the SHAC carries the admin, finance, comms and registration with the NUS Office of Alumni Relations (OAR) behind every one. Founding chapters open based on member interest.
Games, socials, and events throughout the year. Something for every kind of Shearite, every season.
Where it begins. Founding members are inducted, the first chapters open, and the founding register closes that night.
Regular training and games within each chapter, alumni playing alongside current Shearites.
Alumni and residents across every chapter, playing for one trophy.
Casual games and hangouts across batches and CCAs. Meet the people who lived the same Sheares experience.
Mentors, referrals and the Sheares professional network in one room.
The SHAC is alumni-run, with a lean five-person board.
Three seats remain open. Membership alone is plenty. If a seat calls to you, write to Isaac at isaac@sheares.sg or on Telegram.
If you lived in Sheares Hall (or its predecessor, the Dunearn Road Hostels) as an NUS student, you’re a Shearite. Every batch since 1952 counts.
Graduated in the eighties, nineties or before? You’re welcome too, and the first year’s calendar includes cohort reunions, with batch representatives to convene them.
Final-year residents, you’re the next alumni. You’re welcome too.
Your responses by 26 June decide which chapters open first.
