Congratulations to all the graduates! Many Waseda University students have appeared in Waseda Weekly. We asked three graduates who appeared in the "People" and "Focus" sections about their future aspirations.
"I want to pursue space development to realize my childhood dream."
Graduated from School of Fundamental Science and Engineering, Maya Abe
Abe-san, who carries the dream of realizing a future where everyone can go to space, is pursuing a path in space development. He took on the challenge of the 5th Kibo Robot Programming Competition (Kibo-RPC), and decided to continue his studies after graduation.
"Space development is a technological mixed martial art in which anyone can play an active role. While studying more specialized space engineering at graduate school, I would like to create new value in space that will change society together with my colleagues from diverse backgrounds!"
