President Kaoru Kamata praised the graduates for their “broad learning and deep expertise cultivated through Waseda’s educational program and extracurricular activities,” and charged them, with that and their high character as a foundation, to continue learning throughout their lives, “as true global leaders who work for world peace and the good of humankind.”
