In light of the situation regarding COVID-19 (coronavirus disease), Keio University has decided to hold the Keio president's Welcome Address to new enrollees and other highlights via online video feeds instead of hosting actual functions for the AY 2020 September Entrance Ceremonies (undergraduate faculties/graduate schools).
*It is planned for videos to be streamed for both April and September enrollees.
[Schedule]
Scheduled for Thursday, September 24, 2020
Details such as times will be provided on the website at a later date.
The URL for the video stream will be announced as soon as it has been finalized, with the link also due to be posted on the top page of the Keio University website on the day.
While Keio University explored the possibility of holding an Entrance Ceremony for both April and September enrollees at the September Entrance Ceremony (undergraduate faculties/graduate schools) following the postponement of the AY 2020 University Entrance Ceremonies for Undergraduate Faculties and Graduate Schools (originally scheduled to take place in April), we sincerely regret that the university has been compelled to make this decision. Nevertheless, we ask for your kind understanding and cooperation regarding the decision that has been reached in light of the recent situation with COVID-19 (coronavirus disease) and the necessity to prioritize the health and safety of those who had planned to participate as well as to prevent the spread of infections.
Further details of events and procedures for the Fall Semester will be provided at a later date with a view to the ongoing situation.
