We develop human resources that contribute to the creation of a society in which people can aim to live sustainable and bountiful lives and achieve symbiosis with diverse environments.
Characteristics of Learning

Perhaps you have often heard the phrase “sustainable this or that.” It is difficult to continue and maintain something, whatever it may be, but in various situations, it is something that must be done. If you acquire knowledge by learning and experiencing various things, that knowledge will become a powerful ally.
