Faculty of Sociology & Social Work
Faculty introduction
Always remember that university life is a setting for new encounters!
Masaki Sawano, Dean,
Faculty of Sociology and Social Work
This may not resonate with you as you prepare to move on to higher education, but I want to tell you this one thing about student life: be prepared for it to lay the foundations of your future life. Whether intentionally or not, people who do excellent work lay the foundations for that during their time at university. On the other hand, people who go on to lead a futile and meaningless life lay the foundations for that by wasting their time as a student. You need to earn the required credits to graduate from university, and it is no exaggeration to say that is of prime importance. It is all down to you. So, all I can do is express the following wish. I hope you will encounter people who will inspire you with the sincere desire to get closer to the knowledge they possess and their train of thoughts. There are fascinating intellectuals in the Faculty of Sociology & Social Work, but it does not matter which faculty you find such people in. I hope you will be blessed with encounters that enrich your life.
