Under the leadership of the former President Gonokami in 2017, the University of Tokyo created the Future Society Initiatives (FSI) and has undertaken a variety of measures, including “the expansion of diversity and inclusiveness, the international visibility of UTokyo's potential, and the fostering of human resources capable of leading GX (green transformation)." Under the leadership of the current President, Prof. Fujii, the University has launched an initiative to establish a “College of Design” (tentative name) as part of its efforts to "create a model university for the 21st Century". Capitalizing on the extensive and diverse international experience of participating alumni, we expect to come up with deeper insight into the initiative as well as suggestions as to how alumni may help the university’s efforts, which will be conveyed to the office of the President Fujii.Format: Zoom invite will be sent to people who RSVPLanguage: English (panel discussion), English and Japanese (Q and A)RSVP: Please RSVP by August 6 using the online registration form (https://forms.gle/BeR98krRYjCvcUGd8) or email info [at] friendsofutokyo.org with 1) your name, 2) email address, 3) major and year of graduation at Tokyo, 4) current affiliation, 5) questions for the presenters.Organizer: Friends of UTokyo (www.friendsofutokyo.org)Co-sponsors: Satsuki-kai America, FUTI Alumni Association (to be confirmed) and othersNote: Photos taken during the session may be used in FUTI’s online and offline publications.
