Fourth Press Conference Takes Place

February 14, 2019

On Thursday the 22nd of November, TUFS invited journalists to the Fuchu Campus for a press conference.
Today, as globalization accelerates, the number of Japanese people seeking career paths overseas and foreigners visiting Japan are increasing. Under the notion that education, research and information transmission carried out by TUFS has a growing role of maintaining a link with news media, TUFS has been holding press conferences since 2016. This is the fourth time such a conference has been held.

The press conference was opened with a statement from TUFS President Hirotaka Tateishi, which was then followed by an explanation of each topic (as listed below) and a question and answer session.

• The establishment of the School of Japan Studies
  Speakers: TUFS Vice President Kayoko Hayashi,
  Director of the Institute of Japan Studies Professor Emiko Hayatsu,
  Professor Philip Seaton (Institute of Japan Studies)
• The establishment of the Joint Doctoral Program for Sustainability Research
  Speaker: TUFS Vice President Minoru Iwasaki
• On the Judiciary Interpreter Training Course with Aoyama Gakuin University, and mock trials through the cooperation of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office and professional interpreters
  Speaker: TUFS Vice President Chika Takeda

The press conference was ended by an address from Vice President Kayoko Hayashi, who is scheduled to be the next President of TUFS.
