Social Impact

As I mentioned earlier, I will be serving as a project professor at iU starting this year, and at iU, I will be promoting a course and project called “Social Impact.”

Undergraduate classes tend to have a lot of students, don't they?

As I will continue in my role as a professor at Keio KMD without any changes, I hope to build a strong relationship between iU (undergraduate) and KMD (graduate school). I also look forward to continuing to contribute to creating opportunities for collaboration and value creation that transcend the boundaries of not only iU and KMD but also various other organizations.
