Sustainability Freshman Day

Held on May 25, 2022 in the Active Commons (9 Cafe) located on B1F of Building No. 9 and hosted by the Office of Sophia Sustainability Promotion, Sustainability Freshman Day brings in 12 on-campus extracurricular groups that are implementing SDG initiatives to introduce their activities to first-year student.

Participating Groups

SRSG, Meguko, Asante-Project, Study for Two, KASA Sustainability, Equity, ＋Re, Start-up Club, Bond Project, Green Sophia, Peacebuilding Study Group, Sircle

The event was a great success. It not only introduced campus groups to students who are interested in or considering activities for solving social issues but also provided an opportunity for faculty and staff to build lateral relationships in working toward a sustainable future. This event was led by the Office of Sophia Sustainability Promotion (established in FY2021) and was a first step in developing cooperative initiatives to solve issues on and off campus.

Booths were set up for members of each group to provide a one-on-one explanation of their activities. Each group used panels and flyers at their respective booths to talk about their activities and philosophy while answering questions from the students in attendance. There was also a presentation area where groups could provide an explanation of their achievements; each group had about seven minutes to introduce their organization with a slide presentation.
