Comments from Kosuke Kita
I am studying networks, communities, and career development at the Graduate School of Media and Governance. I truly feel that a great aspect of this graduate school is the ability to deepen one's expertise across multiple fields in conjunction with one's own practical activities. Furthermore, by receiving feedback from many faculty members, including Professor Hiroshi Suzuki, I have been able to add depth to my activities regarding the dissemination and advancement of career education.
In the future, I will be able to participate in numerous international conferences related to the World Economic Forum. Through these opportunities, I hope to expand the scope of my activities from Japan to the world and contribute to making society better through human connections.
