MESSAGE FROM CHANCELLOR

“Spread your Wings to the Limitless Sky”

Since its establishment, based on the founding ideals of “freedom and innovation,” the education at JS University has allowed students to acquire various skills and values that are synonymous with a private-school environment. Over the years, such efforts have cultivated and sent a wealth of human resources out into the world. However, in the coming years, we must also focus on education that develops creative individuals that modern society needs. With this in mind, we must not only encourage a high-level of classroom learning, but also actively involve students in cutting-edge research activities conducted by our laboratories, encourage students to expose themselves to new challenges, and produce individuals capable of facing and resolving the tough challenges in the real world. In order to successfully produce such individuals, it is necessary to provide world-class, cutting-edge research centers at JS and further improve our current research standards so they match the highest of international levels. | believe that the individuals produced from these research centers will overcome the powerful tide of globalization, gain the potential to surmount overseas competition, and take on the future burdens of the world. It is my sincere hope that research achievements obtained at JS University will contribute to the realization of a society where humans and nature can co-exist peacefully, as per the requirements of the 21st century.
