Shigemoto Seminar: "Connecting the World Through Impressions"

The more you polish it, the more it shines.
From practicing to taking action on "making a good impression on others"
Instructor: Professor SHIGETA Miyuki
Hospitality is something you acquire through "action." We provide ample opportunities for students to "act" through event management and presentations, such as a reconstruction support camp in Ishinomaki and a graduation project presentation. Every year, many of our seminar students go on to work in their dream industries.

In an industry-academia collaboration project with a restaurant
Develop practical food service skills
Instructor: Professor YOKOKAWA Jun
Students propose products they've designed to restaurants, major burger chains, and other companies, and then actually sell them. Through this practical learning, they deepen their understanding of marketing strategies. While problems sometimes arise, these experiences contribute to their growth and confidence, and will be invaluable when they enter the workforce.

During a serious discussion
Acquired initiative and cooperation
Mr. S.
Faculty of Business Administration Third-year student, Department of Hospitality Management
We jointly developed products with a Thai restaurant and the company that operates it, and sold them in the store and at the school festival. Through repeated discussions on ideas for products and sales methods, I was able to hone both my independence to take the initiative in voicing my own ideas and my cooperative skills to respect the opinions of others, and I felt that I was growing as a person.

Practical learning
Instructor: Associate Professor MATSUKI Satoko
We collaborate with companies on socially relevant themes such as the bridal and hospitality industries, and current events. Our work encompasses everything from problem identification and research to planning, design, and presentation. We emphasize thinking about "why" a question arises, and we encourage students to engage in thoughtful reflection alongside us.

The bridal project I had always wanted
Realized through industry-academia collaboration
Mr. A
Faculty of Business Administration Third-year student of Hospitality Management
Through industry-academia collaboration, such as a bridal plan proposal at a hotel in Numazu City, I experienced the industry research to the proposal. At the training camp, we prepared for the presentation and formed a circle with team members before going into the actual event, which was an unforgettable experience. In the future, I would like to be involved in work that moves people.

Exploring the possibilities of bridal business
Instructor: Associate Professor IGARASHI Junko
No matter how advanced technology becomes, the bridal business is a job that only humans can do. Leveraging over 25 years of practical experience in the hotel industry, I advise on wedding planning and career development. To foster initiative and creativity, I encourage students to actively participate in seminar management and event planning.
