HAVE YOU SEEN OUR STAMP???

NUSCC’s Cultural Arts Directorate (CAD) has a hole in our heart 😢 Our beloved Singlit Shelves stamp is missing! The stamp as well as the shelves were designed and painted by the 1st NUSCC CAD members. Without the stamp we’re missing a part of our history 💔💔


Do let us know ASAP if you have spotted the stamp in any lounges, chatterboxes or bushes. Any leads would be helpful and appreciated. Updates on missing or misplaced singlit books are also welcome! Just text @thinkingaboutoranges or @sinkingshipss with the news.

In the meantime, be on the lookout for new books, fresh student publications and more! These will be added to the shelves immediately after our stamp is found :)))

For more CAD updates and news about the arts in NUSC, do join our telechannel!
