KOMEX Division of Social Outreach

Our society is changing in a multifaceted fashion and regular class programs might face difficulties in adapting to such rapid change. Our division can best be described as having two roles. The first role is to focus on fostering novel approaches to the liberal arts education on the Komaba campus, principally through collaboration with the private sector and public organizations. By integrating diverse intellectual paradigms from society and the private sector into academic curricula, we aim to nurture students that are equipped with societal literacy, a wide-ranging perspective, and innovative thinking. To achieve this, the KOMEX Division collaborates with corporations and civic groups that show an interest in advancing a university-level liberal arts education. Our initiatives include specialized courses such as the "Brand Design Studio," which involves brand consultants as facilitators, and the "Career Education Class for Students" hosted by KOMEX members on the Komaba Campus. Furthermore, by leveraging societal resources, we offer pioneering academic practices that were previously unattainable within the confines of campus, such as "Cultivating Thoughtful Strategy through Playing Go," "Cultivating Intellect and Sensibility via Playing Shogi," "Art Studies as a Form of Liberal Education," and "Library: Learning, Utilization, and Proposal."

Our second role is to disseminate educational and research accomplishments made on the Komaba campus to the broader community. We host public-oriented events like "BranCo! Design Contest for University and College Students" and the "UTokyo Komaba Social Outreach Lecture Series," aimed at sharing profound academic knowledge cultivated on the Komaba campus.
