Feedback from previous program participants
Although I was interested in the topic of sustainability, it felt a little distant to me. Taking this course was extremely worthwhile, and even after the course, Professor Kumazawa has continued to provide me with opportunities and information about the sustainability industry. I also received career consulting, which allowed me to think about my possibilities and the direction I want to go. Thank you very much. (Ai Okazaki)
