A new breeze for Rissho University.I want to focus on after-sales follow-up as a university

 This is my personal opinion, but education is important in undergraduate education, but it is also extremely important for faculty members to improve their research and practical skills, as it is often said that they teach on their backs.I would like you to stay in the laboratory, deepen your research steadily, and not only educate yourself steadily, but also actively disseminate information to society by appealing your research results to society and starting a business.I think that the higher the social awareness of teachers, the more motivated students will be, and as a result, the quality of education will improve.

 Our university is one of the few universities with a tradition of 150 years, and students are also serious.However, since the new faculty will develop human resources who are active at the forefront of the digital society, I think it can be a little unconventional or rough.After graduating, I want you to take on challenges without fear of failure, such as aiming to become an entrepreneur, starting a new business, or actively jumping into emerging small and medium-sized enterprises without fear of changing jobs. ..

 Universities also spare no backup for that.The new faculty will be opened on the Kumagai campus, but next spring on the Shinagawa campus in the center of the city, the Data Science Center (tentative name) will be used to promote data science research throughout the university while supporting the university-wide data science education required by the government. Will be installed.Since technological progress is rapid, I would like to return to university after graduation, gain new information and knowledge, relearn new technologies, and create a system that can be used in practice.
 The catchphrase of our university in 2020 is "change-> self-confidence-> a university where you can grow."We say that change is the beginning of everything, but I think that the new faculty that develops human resources who will lead the digital society will also play a role in causing change throughout Rissho University.
