Message from University President Masato Kurabayashi

Congratulatory speech by Chancellor Yozo Fujino

The 33rd entrance ceremony for 2024 was held on April 2nd at Chiba Togane Campus. 1,417 new students, including 316 foreign students from 12 countries, took a new step with bright smiles.

University President Masato Kurabayashi, who took office in April, believes that the student life at JIU for new students should be a ``time'' and ``place'' for them to gather strength for the future. While you are learning to ``learn,'' you are sure to encounter many different things, and you may even face tougher challenges than you expected. Our senior students will definitely be able to help you. He then said in his farewell address that we, the faculty and staff, will always be available for consultation with you and will work with you to help you overcome various difficulties and lead a fulfilling and energetic student life.

Chancellor Yozo Fujino said that when you look back on it later, you may remember that it was a very limited and short time, but this university life taught you the basic things you will need in order to survive. He congratulated the participants and said that it would be an extremely valuable time for them to acquire knowledge, skills, and attitude.

Shohei Hayashi, a representative of the new students from the Department Department of Physical Therapy in the Department of Welfare and Social Welfare, said, ``It is a comprehensive university where you can learn a wide variety of things, and learning that can only be done at an international university, so I would like to take advantage of these characteristics and actively participate in a unique educational program.'' , I would like to expand my range of activities in the future.''

After the ceremony, students and families could be seen all over the campus, chatting with each other and taking commemorative photos. Recruitment activities were also carried out by clubs and circle organizations.
