DUAL is a non-profit, umbrella organization and
aims to encourage knowledge exchange, strengthen relationships
and promote community service amongst its member clubs. DUAL
strives to fulfill its objectives through the annual DUAL Ball,
the DUAL Development & Skillbase Initiatives and regular
inter-alumni events such as the DUAL Drinks, Thanksgiving/Holiday
Dinners, business related talks and seminars by professors of
various universities.
DUAL has held annual charity balls raising funds
for Club Rainbow, Touch Community Services, MINDS, CARE, and True
Hearts Connection. The annual DUAL Ball has been the highlight of
its social calendar. It is a fund raising and social platform for
alumni and friends of DUAL. The goals are to encourage social
giving and at the same time provide networking and interaction
opportunities among members of DUAL clubs. DUAL Ball also
spearheads alumni community service efforts for its designated
charity. In lieu of the annual DUAL Ball for the past few years,
DUAL has presented a charity concert in support of its
beneficiary, the Canossian School, as well as has raised funds
through the popular Thanksgiving/Holiday Dinner for other
charities.
The DUAL Development & Skillbase Initiative
(DUAL DS) disseminates to alumni members information in the
public domain on skills-based volunteer opportunities in
Singapore and in the region. Its goal is to foster active
citizenry among alumni to contribute skills towards development
and regional peace for the benefit of society. DUAL DS in
collaboration with SMU has launched a very successful DUAL-SMU
Technology and World Change Competition in 2004.
