| 平成18年度秋季入学式告辞
|
| Congratulations on your acceptance to the graduate school of TUAT. At this fall admissions, we have enrolled 53 students. Among them 31 students from 15 foreign countries and areas are included. On behalf of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, I heartily welcome all of you. I believe that you embrace a dream to be an excellent researcher or scientist with high knowledge and skills in your own specialized area. Work hard and study hard! Just make the best of it and your dream will come true. TUAT enrolls more than 400 international students. The campus is truly open to the world and thus has a deeply international feel. We can say that here is a little piece of the world. You can make many friends from various countries. Such international network of personal contacts will be your valuable assets. By the way, I visited China last month. The purpose of my visit was to attend the alumni meeting of graduate from TUAT. We have many Chinese graduates. It is the reason why the Chinese Alumni Association has been organized. I think that the number of graduates from TUAT increases year by year even in the countries other than China. I hope that you will exert some efforts to organize the alumni association in your country after you receive your Master or Ph. D. degree. To keep close relationship and to deepen bonds between you and TUAT after graduation is very important for you. It will be also a great support for our university. I hope that your university life will be successful. And I trust that your stay in TUAT will prove to be both enjoyable and valuable to all of you. Study hard and enjoy your stay in Japan. Thank you for your attention. |
