Japanese students in the freshman seminar course celebrated the pleasant spring weather at the start of the semester by taking a stroll around the Chinzei Academy campus. Students joining the university in the spring 2021 semester are met with challenges due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but remain vigilant with hope for the future. We hope our students share in the excitement to engage with our faculty and staff through courses, research, activities, and community service. We hope you will remain strong and resilient as you work toward earning your degrees and grow closer to realizing your dreams of a better future. We at CGU encourage our students to make meaningful connections with others that deepen our sense of belonging and fosters academic success.
