University Name: Shibaura Institute of Technology
Course: Innovative Global Program

  • Where are you currently based, what program have you enrolled in, and at which university? Tell us more about your study program and the university.

– Currently I go to Shibaura Institute of Technology and am enrolled in the Innovative Global Program. Though we have a few campuses, I’m based around Toyosu currently since most of my lab equipment is here. My program, abbreviated to the IGP, is a research-based program where students have to begin research from the very first year of the undergraduate program, instead of in their final two years like most colleges.

  • What are some of your most memorable moments from your time at UIA?

– I think since my class was such a tight-knit group, most of my fond memories have to do with just daily life hanging out with my friends, like during lunch or recess. Other than that I used to really enjoy the preparation for and then annual day itself.

  • What type of sports or non-academic activities were you involved with at UIA?

– During my junior year of high school I was Student Body President which really helped me in that it gave me the ability to become a lot more connected to students of all grades and allowed me to help improve student life and grow my own leadership and organizational skills. I was also part of the History Bowl team for a short period of time, which I found really fun.

  • When was the last time you were back on campus? Would you like to conduct a class for our Grade 11 & 12 students to share your victories, advise,and information that will help students with their university application process?

– The last time I visited campus was actually my own graduation, but I would be more than happy to come back to help out with any college advice or guidance sessions.

  • Given your experience, what sort of advice would you give to current UIA students?

– My biggest advice for students is to find time outside of academics to try and find hobbies and interests that aren’t just temporary sources of fun. Look for extracurriculars or activities that help you grow as a person and that can extend past your high school life into adulthood.

I hereby agree to permit UIA International School of Tokyo to take photographs of my child during school activities for the purpose of educating students, promoting the school, or promoting public education.

BUS INFORMATION

Parents are not allowed inside the school buses.

For Kindergarten students, parents/legal guardians MUST be at the bus stop wearing the lanyard for pick-up and drop.

If a parent/guardian is not present at the bus stop at the scheduled time for the bus arrival, the student cannot get off the bus. We will wait for 1 minute and try to contact parents. After that, we will bring the child back to Kiba campus.

Parents/Guardians will be notified and are required to visit the Kiba campus to pick up their child. In such a scenario, a penalty will be charged to the parents at the hourly rate of ¥11,000.

UIA will consider adding a new stop for students from Kindergarten to Grade 2 in the area of the existing routes.

The school bus may arrive earlier or later than the scheduled time, depending on traffic conditions. If the bus arrives early, they will wait until the scheduled departure time. If the bus does not arrive at the bus stop within 20 minutes after the scheduled arrival time, please contact 080-1187-9407.

Parents should report to the 3F to drop off or pick up their child.
