Showa Women’s University celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, when the Tokyo Olympic Games are held. Since its founding, we have been steadfastly committed to enabling students to strongly develop knowledge of their fields and to equipping students with a professional education that prepares them to be leaders in society. To that end, women should not confine themselves to stereotypical roles, but rather challenge themselves to excel. Please take advantage of the various intercultural collaborations on campus connected with our local community as well as with the public and private sectors in Japan and the rest of the world.
