Message to Potential Candidates to Ogawa Seminar：
I am Mamadou from Senegal. I am excited to be part of Professor Ogawa’s Seminar. What makes Ogawa’s seminar so special is its rich socio-cultural diversity. This enables us to learn from others and broaden our horizons. The other major asset of the Ogawa seminar is that the alumni, also distinguished university professors and professionals from international, governmental or non governmental organizations, inspire for their brilliant career as students and experiences as professionals.
