SDU was set up in 1984 to change the cultural and social mindsets
that continue to stand in the way of graduates getting married.
The Unit hopes to achieve the following objectives:
| a) |
To increase
singles' awareness of the importance of marriage and family,
through public education efforts, |
| b) |
To provide
dating opportunities for those who desire to marry, and |
| c) |
To influence
singles' attitudes in their choice of a spouse. |
To date, more than 33,000 SDU members have tied the knot, with an
average of 1,700 members marrying each year. Still, the Unit continues
to reach out to as many as possible.
The Unit offers one-to-one matchmaking programmes like Personalised Introduction Service, Computer Matchmaking
or Table 4 Two. For those who prefer their search for their partner
to be on a social basis, SDU, through its strategic partners, organises
more than 800 activities a year. In particular, Red Box Events Pte Ltd organises exciting and interesting events exclusively for
SDU members. These provide excellent opportunities for members to
interact with other graduates from all professions and hopefully,
meet their Significant Other.
