Chukyo University

Chukyo University will celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2014, and the Umemura Group of Educational Institutions, the university’s parent organization, is marking its 90th anniversary this year in 2013.

Constant innovation has fueled the advancement of Chukyo University in the past, and it will continue to drive us forward into the future. I am committed to doing everything in my power to implement “Next 10,” our new long-term plan drafted with an eye to pioneering a new era in education at the university.

In these many ways, Chukyo University continues to take strides forward.
