・The Saionji Memorial Scholarship (Academically Outstanding Students Category)

・+R Undergraduate College Scholarship

The awards were given out face to face and via Zoom for the applicants who were unable to attend.

At the award ceremony, a congratulatory speech was given by Dean Nishimura after which the certificates were presented one by one.

Ms. HASEGAWA Kokono and Ms.JEON Soomin gave a speech on behalf of the recipients.

I  congratulate all the recipients of the scholarships and wish them all the best in their studies.

In the College of International Relations, students cultivate the ability to examine various issues faced by the international community from diverse political, economic, social, or cultural perspectives and then seek various ways to approach those issues. The Zemi Research Convention is a research convention that began in AY 2000, allowing students to give concrete shape to their learning and giving them a chance to make their studies known to people outside of the university.

At the convention, students belonging to various seminars give presentations concerning their learning achievements to not only their peers and university faculty, but to a range of people from various walks of life.

We invite Ms. Takemura Tomoko to discuss their working experiences for a consulting company named “Accenture”. The specialty of the company lies in the fact that it does not offer any direct services to the general consumers, but it works in consultation with companies on the basis of technological reforms and human ingenuity. The workplace offers a “people’s mentor” system where everyone in the company, including the CEO has a mentor that they can refer to for advice and  questions.

This point of operation can help newcomers of the company to be less scared or confused on their exact duties, as well as, create a strong working community where people are unafraid to voice their struggles.
