The Toronto Tomonkai<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Toronto Tomonkai<\/em> located in Toronto, Canada is one example of an active Waseda alumni organization building community overseas through a shared connection to the University. They were recently featured in the Waseda Gakuho<\/em>, a magazine released once every two months by the Waseda University Alumni Association<\/a> (WUAA). For the English translation of the article, including comments from the Chairperson and members, as well as information about the Toronto Tomonkai<\/em>,\u00a0visit the WUAA\u2019s website here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Waseda University deeply values our alumni as important members of the Waseda community, and we are known for having produced many changemakers throughout our history, including eight prime ministers and many leaders in business, science and technology, literature, sports, and film. As we approach our 150th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary in 2032, Waseda is re-connecting with our alumni and sharing with them news of the exciting new projects we have on the horizon through Waseda\u2019s\u00a0Vision 150<\/a>, our strategic plan to establish Waseda University as a leading global university by 2032 and beyond.<\/p>\n

To do this, we are working closely with the WUAA. Started in 1885, the WUAA is a vast organization of alumni that supports the university and current students, helps alumni stay in touch, and builds strong connections with more than 600,000 Waseda alumni in Japan and around the globe. There are currently around 70 overseas \u201cTomonkai<\/em>\u201d or alumni organizations who welcome both new members and visitors!\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
