About Us
SMU Computing & Information Systems Society, affectionately known as Ellipsis, is the student representative body of the School of Computing & Information Systems (SCIS).
At the heart of our mission lies a dedication to nurturing a vibrant and supportive community through a comprehensive three-dimensional strategy focusing on Academics, Professional Development, and Student Life. On top of the key events such as SCIS Day that is organised to bring students and faculty members together, they also care for their students through the provision of welfare and career development opportunities such as networking sessions.
Our Vision
A united SCIS community with a fulfilling student life and opportunities for holistic growth
Our Mission
To serve and care for our community with initiatives that focus on engagement, holistic development and fostering a shared sense of identity
Our Values
Selflessness
Selflessness is the principle or practice of concern for the welfare of others, rather than for one's own. We would like to encourage our fellow SCIS students to be considerate, help each other out, share ideas and resources, in order to develop a united community where we can depend on each other for support.
Inquisitiveness
Inquisitiveness also known as curiosity is an emotion related to natural inquisitive behaviour such as exploration, investigation and learning. This value represents a drive to know new things, which exemplifies students of SCIS who are always seeking for innovation solutions to everyday problems.
Sincerity
Sincerity is the virtue in which one acts in accordance with their feelings and thoughts. We aim for sincere and honest relationships amongst all SCIS students, where we can share our opinions and thoughts without fear of judgement, to develop an open and honest culture amongst the SCIS community.
What We Do
Welfare Drives
Regular welfare drives are held to motivate and lift the spirits of SCIS students.
SCIS Day
SCIS Day is the biggest event organised annually by Ellipsis to celebrate SCIS' anniversary, which aims to foster strong camaraderie among the SCIS community, past and present.

Ellipsis Tech Series 2020 includes workshops, a networking session, industry partner interactions and a Hackathon.
Networking Sessions
