message
Seeing, hearing, and experiencing a variety of things during your student days, and acquiring a wide range of perspectives and the ability to take action, is an important part of going out into society.
When I was a student Asia University, I climbed the highest peaks of the seven continents. This experience, unwittingly, gave me the "power" to face diverse cultures. The international social contribution activities that I began working on after graduation have been one of the tangible results of such learning. I hope that young people will also experience the real pleasure of coming into contact with multiple cultures. Learn actively.
