2017 Hiroshima University Fall Semester Entrance Ceremony was held

On October 1st (Sun), Hiroshima University held the 2017 Fall Semester Entrance Ceremony and welcomed 286 new students.

As usual, most of the new students in the fall are international students so the ceremony was given both in English and Japanese.

In his welcome speech, President Ochi talked about the importance of a liberal arts education; “When you are faced with unexpected challenges in your life, you need to possess skills to work something out by yourself. I am certain that such skills can only be cultivated in the process of continuous thinking based on a broad knowledge across many fields.” He also encouraged the freshmen: “I would like you to acquire a strong will and passion, so as to make advancements on the frontline of research. Indeed, this in turn will make the world a better place, even if just step by step.”
