The professor proudly said that the first president of the University was a government official who held the position as the Minister of Finance for 5 times and as the Minister of Industry and Commerce for once. The current president hopes to have more cooperation in human resource training.
Prof. Masumi Ishida wished to establish a long-term collaboration between the JIU with the HCMC University of Social Sciences and Humanities as well as with other universities in Vietnam. He hoped that Vietnamese students after their high school graduation or undergraduates and graduates who want to study abroad in Japan will be able to study at his university. Since the university is located in an area with a number of tourist attractions and hotels surrounding, students can have assistance in finding jobs in those resorts while studying there.
The JIU now consists of 4 campuses: Chiba Togane, Tokyo Kioicho, Awa and Makuhari. The most special campus is Awa (for the Department of Tourism) in Kamogawa, which is surrounded by seas and green spaces, and 100% of students at this faculty can have good jobs after their graduation.
