Between July 7 and 15, “Kanazawa University Top Global University Luncheon Session for Students” took place for three times at Kakuma Campus and one time at Takaramachi / Tsuruma Campus, and approximately 255 students in total attended the events.

First, President Koetsu YAMAZAKI explained the outline of Top Global University Project and Kanazawa University’s vision. Afterward, Vice President Masayoshi SHIBATA (Education and Student Affairs) explained the initiatives for globalization of the university such as quarter system from 2016 fiscal year, support for English learning and English proficiency test, study abroad programs, and scholarship and other support for those programs. Lastly, Dean of each School (Director General of the Organization of Liberal Arts and Science on July 7,) gave a message to the students.

Their impassionate speeches made approximately 70% of the students interested in study abroad, according to the results of the questionnaire.
