Special Lecture by Chairman Nagamori for First Year International Students 

On Friday, October 25, a special lecture was held by Chairman Nagamori for international students who entered the Faculty of Engineering and Graduate School of Engineering in September. A total of 139 international students attended the lecture, where Chairman Nagamori extended a heartfelt welcome and encouraged them with the message, “Have confidence in yourself,” and “Aim not only for Japan but for the world.” 

Drawing from his own experience of overcoming challenges to achieve his dreams, Chairman Nagamori passionately spoke to the students about the importance of “effort and perseverance” and the need to “pursue dreams relentlessly without giving up.” 

　The chairman began by welcoming international students to Japan, emphasizing the unique global education system at KUAS, where courses are being offered in English and expanding further. His vision for KUAS is to become a prestigious institution that fosters world-class leaders, including Nobel Prize winners, by instilling values of hard work, perseverance, and self-confidence. 

During the Q&A session, numerous hands were raised with questions such as, “How did you gather your team when you first started your business?” and “Could you offer some advice for students?” The questions continued uninterrupted until the very end of the event. 

In the participant survey, students left positive comments, including “I was inspired by a new vision and my mission for my future” and “I felt motivated to believe in my own ability to face challenges.”
