School of Science, Social Gathering: Bridging Departments and Minds

Communications & Public Relations Committee

A reception for students and Academic and Administrative Staff, which has become a regular event for the Graduate School of Science and Faculty of Science, was held on Monday, May 12, 2025, from 3:00 p.m. at the Koishikawa Botanical Garden. The weather was cloudy from the morning, with occasional light rain. Many students and Academic and Administrative Staff gathered in the garden under the joint preparation of student volunteers from each Department and the staff.

This social event started as a beer party held in the Botanical Garden after the guidance for higher education in May 1971 and has continued for a long time (from "Faculty of Science Public Relations," Vol. 3, No. 5).

The party began with an opening address by Dean Shinichi Okoshi, Graduate School and Faculty of Science, followed by a toast. Many participants were seen chatting in a circle in the tent and under the big tree. The smiling faces of the students and Academic and Administrative Staff seemed to make the park even livelier. Although the weather was a little chilly, we enjoyed the spring breeze and the nature of the Botanical Garden, which was beginning to sprout green leaves, and had a congenial and pleasant time of exchange.

The reception has become an annual event, and we hope that it will continue to be a gathering where students and Academic and Administrative Staff can interact with each other across the boundaries of their Departments and Divisions.
