Waseda University’s Spring 2023 graduation ceremonies will be held on Saturday, March 25 and Sunday, March 26 for all undergraduate and graduate schools. With considerations given to the current status of Covid-19 in Japan, in-person attendance to the ceremonies will be limited to graduating students only. However, the University has prepared a few opportunities for celebratory photo-taking around campus to allow students to remember this monumental occasion. Please take many pictures during this time to remember your journey at Waseda! When uploading photos to your social media channels, we would love it if you added #waseda and #wasedagrad to your posts.    

As the Alma Mater goes,
“Her students change from year to year,
Meet and part with youth’s delight,
Yet all alike we seek to share
These ideals and their light.” 

No matter where they are what they might be doing, Waseda graduates are never alone. Waseda will always be here for our graduates as they take steps towards a brighter future as leaders and changemakers. 

We are extremely proud of our graduates and wish them all the best in life. Congratulations!
