One of these challenges is your commitment to the realization of Society 5.0. You have overcome the considerable hardships of the COVID-19 pandemic and have developed great resilience amidst ongoing global and historical adversities, such as climate change and international conflicts. Therefore, I strongly believe that you can fully utilize your unyielding spirits and the energy you have accumulated thus far in the forging of a promising future."
In the valedictory speech, Ms. NISHIWAKI Natsuki from the Faculty of Applied Biological Sciences said, "Although there were days when we felt that our campus life differed from the ideal we had envisioned due to the global outbreak of COVID-19, we were able to broaden our horizons and mature through many wonderful encounters and learning opportunities. We will continue to move forward step by step, drawing on our experiences at Gifu University."
