Macness is the Premium Club for Apple-product users in SMU.

Macness wants to develop the Apple-Community in SMU through creative ways and urges all members to play a part in learning. As a reference point for both Apple Singapore and SMU students, Macness organises seminars, events and provides assistance to users on mainstream Apple-products. As the user base grows, Macness will provide opportunities for inspiring designers and developers to showcase their talents to the masses. On the other hand, our team will work to bring in benefits and offers from Apple Singapore and partners for the student bodies.

In the long run, we believe Macness will be the bridge between our stakeholders from both the academic and corporate world.
