Why don't you hang around with your friends from the University of Tsukuba after a long time and talk about the old days?

The catchphrase for this event is "Why don’t you have a drink with the President soon?” Graduates are requested to check the President's schedule on this page and invite at least 5 friends who are alumni of the University of Tsukuba to apply.
(If there are less than 4 participants, we can arrange a time to conduct a joint session with other groups.)

There is no other university that offers the chance for mutual communication with the university president. No other university does this. You can talk about the old days, report on what's going on, or ask the president a quick question. Feel free to register for this opportunity as if you were having a drink with friends!

This year's event will be held online due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, and we hope that this event will be a chance for you to get together with your old friends.

This event is also to be held beyond April. The schedule will be continually updated so check the application form.
