2020 academic year’s autumn commencement ceremony held

Forty-five undergraduate and graduate students of Shibaura Institute of Technology received their diploma at a commencement ceremony held at the Toyosu Campus on September 23. Many university officials and family members of graduates watched online as the ceremony was streamed as part of SIT’s efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

At the ceremony, a student representative from each college and graduate school course took the stage to receive a diploma, and students with outstanding academic records received accolades including the President Award (Global) and minor program certificates.

Addressing the students in English, SIT President Masato Murakami said the graduates had naturally acquired logical thinking and critical thinking skills by conducting research for graduation or a master’s thesis, which he described as a lifelong asset earned while attending SIT.

At the closing of the ceremony, SIT Board of Directors Chairman Takeo Suzumi said: “I congratulate you all, and I sincerely hope you make an impact wherever you go in the world while never forgetting your pride at being an SIT graduate.”
