We, the student PR staff, disseminate information about JIU from a student perspective both inside and outside the university. We mainly interview students and cover events and disseminate that information.

An extracurricular activity group from the Tokyo Kioicho Campus participated in the Spring National Traffic Safety Campaign organized by Kojimachi Police Station and was presented with a letter of appreciation. The participating groups were the Kioicho University Festival Executive Committee, TAKE1, GOTHAM CITY, and Macaroni Western, a total of 30 members. We interviewed Suzuhana Takagi (left), a third-year student Faculty of Media Studies and representative of the University Festival Executive Committee, and Ryouma Yoza, a third-year student Faculty of Media Studies and vice-representative of GOTHAM CITY, who participated in the activity.

The Spring National Traffic Safety Campaign took place over a ten-day period from April 6th to 15th, and our university participated on eight of those days on weekday mornings. Students stood in pairs diagonally across pedestrian crossings at crossroads, guiding pedestrians and encouraging them to be safe.
Takagi said, "We participated during the morning commute to work and school, so it was tough getting up at 5am and meeting at 8am." Yoza reflected on the struggles he faced, saying, "At first, I didn't know how long I should hold people who were trying to cross the street when the green light was flashing." It was clear to see that they were dedicated to their work for the safety of the local people.

Takagi and Yoza, who received the certificate of appreciation as representatives this time, were humble and said, "We don't do anything to deserve a certificate of appreciation," and "It's an honor." Through this activity, they were able to communicate with local people, who said things like, "You get up early," and "You're working hard," and they said they hope to continue to have exchanges with them over little things in the future. They were enthusiastic and said they would like to participate again next time if they have the opportunity.
