Message for Students
Nearly twenty years have passed since I joined Rissho University. Over time, the number of seminar graduates has increased, and now I enjoy interacting with them. University is not a place where you simply learn something unilaterally. It is a place where students and teachers learn from each other through academics. We look forward to your proactive approach.
