TOPICS

On December 8th (Sat), College of IR held the Open Seminar Competition by our students at Hall 1, Igakukan, before its commemoration ceremony and symposium.

Four teams, Minamikawa Seminar,　Nishimura Seminar, Honna Seminar and Suechika Seminar won the qualifying tournament and eagerly gave a presentation about their topics. After presentations, the participants were questioned by professional judges who came from companies and academic fields. It was a precious and rewarding experience for students.

After careful considerations, Honna seminar won the competition. They made a unique presentation which included a role play that was assumed by “Policy makers of Japan and Indonesia”, and “Honna seminar, who played the role of professionals of area studies”. Their presentation attracted audiences. Lunch reception and poster session also achieved success. Students and guests enjoyed exchanging their opinions over a light meal. Over 200 attendants from companies, academic institutions, alumni, students and Ritsumeikan Uji high school students attended the program. Comments like “Very useful discussion”, “High presentation skills”, “Well-made presentation” etc. were given by guests.

May we take this opportunity to thank all those guests who attended this competition and all operation staff.
