Message from the Director Diversity Center

Diversity Center at our university is now in its third year. In today's rapidly changing society, respecting diversity and building an inclusive environment are essential elements for us to live better. In the first year, we completely revised the "Musashi University Basic Policy for Supporting Students with Disabilities" and established the "Musashi University Basic Policy for Support for Students with Disabilities". In the second year, we established the " Basic Policy on the Diversity of Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Gender Expression at Musashi University" and have created an environment in which students' diverse personalities are respected, they can learn together, fully demonstrate their abilities, and everyone can feel safe in their studies, extracurricular activities, research, education, and various activities that support them. In addition, we have been working on various initiatives such as training, events, and information dissemination to promote understanding of those around us. As a result, awareness of diversity on campus has increased, and the idea of accepting differences has become widespread. This is not simply about accepting differences, but is based on a positive idea that each individual's personality and background is valued and respected, and that diversity will become a strength for society as a whole. We would like to work even harder to improve the environment so that this idea is established.
 Our Diversity Center has a coordinator on-site to provide more specialized support, and we have established a system to provide support in cooperation with each department after listening to the support needs of students. At Diversity Center, we would like to listen to your voices and support you so that all students can be respected for their individuality and abilities, without being discriminated against based on whether they have a disability or not, and can learn what they want to learn with peace of mind and live a fulfilling university life.
