On April 3rd, the 2017 Entrance Ceremony of Hiroshima University was held at the Higashi Hiroshima Sports Park Gymnasium Hall and in the total of 3,976 new students were enrolled into the university.
While a pleasant spring breeze was felt around the venue, many freshmen and their parents and guardians attended the ceremony.
In his welcome speech, President Ochi talked about the founding principle of Hiroshima University, which goes “a single unified university, free and pursuing peace,” and asked the fresh students to bear that in mind, while aiming to grow into ‘peace-pursuing, cultured individuals with international mindset and a challenging spirit” at Hiroshima University.
President Ochi stressed the importance of life-long pursuit of cultivating one’s knowledge of the Liberal Arts along with that of deepening one’s scholarly knowledge in his/her specialized field.
This year, a total of 3,976 students, 2,466 Undergraduate students, 17 Special Course students, and 1,493 Graduate students are starting their campus life.
