The Keio University Athletic Association celebrates its 125th anniversary in 2017 and is holding commemorative projects under the slogan "Shaping the Future of Student Athletics." As part of these projects, a symposium will be held at Mita Campus on the theme of "The Balance of Academics and Athletics at University," welcoming speakers from the University of Tokyo and Waseda University.
In recent years, there have been active discussions and considerations regarding the promotion of university sports, and the significance of sports at universities is being emphasized more than ever. To help shape the future of student athletics, the Keio University Athletic Association has decided to create a forum to once again discuss the "balance of academics and athletics." At the symposium, faculty members and students from each university will introduce their initiatives related to the "balance of academics and athletics" and education at their respective universities. They are scheduled to hold a discussion on what the future of university sports should look like. We kindly request your assistance in publicizing this event and providing media coverage for the symposium.
