Message to Potential Candidates to Ogawa Seminar：
I joined Ogawa seminar in 2020. It is an honor for me to study with a lot of peers who have really high motivation for studying and future career, and many of who experience Internships or are actually hired in International Organization. Professor Ogawa always provides a large number of opportunities and advises how we can realize our dreams (future goals) with the shortest distance.
Before I came to Ogawa seminar, I wondered how I can work at International Organization or work for Education Development. However, now I know the way I have to go through because I learn that in Ogawa seminar. If you want to make your dreams come true, such as “working at International Organization” or “contributing to Education Development”, why don’t you join Ogawa seminar?
