Message from the PresidentChubu University is committed to its motto, “ACTA, NON VERBA: Your actions and words should always go together to be a reliable person.” e university strives to contribute to the development of society by producing graduates who are well-educated, self-reliant and service-oriented; graduates who embrace a global view, professionalism and ambition, and who are trustworthy members of society. Chubu University is also committed to the betterment of society through its outstanding achievements in research, and through the sharing of its wealth of intellectual and material resources.Fundamental PhilosophyChubu University aspires to contribute to the search for truth and the creation of knowledge through undertaking research in areas that foster the development of society, and through delivering superior research results.Mission in ResearchChubu University contributes to social welfare and development, particularly within the local community, by engaging in a variety of social contribution activities and by making use of the university’s intellectual and material resources.Mission in Community ServiceChubu University aims to send into the world graduates who are trustworthy, well-educated, self-reliant and service-oriented, and who embrace a broad international perspective, as well as a sense of professionalism and ambition.Mission in Education Chubu University’s campus is located on a hill in Kasugai overlooking the Nobi Plain, with convenient access and an abundance of nature in the surrounding area. It is an ideal environment to devote oneself to one’s studies. Even more important is that concentrated here is a deep and broad learning experience. Eight colleges and six graduate schools cover arts, sciences, medicine, and education, while promoting education and research necessary to unravel important issues facing our society, such as international society and business, diverse ora and fauna, life and health, modern childcare and education, AI and data science, and media information. It is my hope that our students, as the generation that will take lead of the future, will cultivate both perspective and expertise in their respective elds. Engaging with diverse disciplines in addition to studying one’s specialized eld provides the pleasure of learning the achievements of human wisdom and also serves as a source of strength for navigating the future. It provides a basis for looking at things from multiple perspectives, including economic, social, legal, psychological, engineering, and life sciences. Since many social issues are multi-layered and complex, this will lead to the ability to look beyond academic and professional boundaries and disentangle issues from multiple perspectives. Chubu University promotes student exchange activities, study abroad, and joint research with overseas universities. Opportunities to gain international perspectives and experiences, both on and o campus, are increasing. We also oer programs for working professionals. On a campus where a diverse range of people gather to learn, converse, and strive together for mutual improvement, students can cultivate a rich sense of “humanity.” In conclusion, I hope that students will rise as truly “reliable individuals,” as envisioned by our founder, Dr. Kohei Miura, and pave the way for both society and their own future. Chubu University will provide the environment and time necessary to do so.President of Chubu UniversityMasayoshi MaeshimaEnriching Your “Humanity” throughComprehensive Learning03
