Message to Potential Candidates to Ogawa Seminar:
Greetings, my name is Salihu Umar Baros, and I am thrilled to be a part of the Ogawa Seminar.
The diversity of the Ogawa Seminar is truly inspiring, with students from various countries and backgrounds. It’s a privilege to be part of a group where I can learn from others, exchange ideas, and be inspired by alumni who are now working in renowned international organizations. Listening to their stories fuels my own ambitions and strengthens my determination.
The seminar offers a unique opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research and innovative discussions, thanks to the diversity of both faculty and peers. Under Professor Ogawa’s guidance, we are constantly challenged to think critically and expand our horizons. I firmly believe that being part of this seminar will help us achieve our goals and deepen our commitment to serving humanity on a global scale.
The entire experience is enriched by Professor Ogawa’s vast knowledge, his global network, and his unwavering support for each one of us.
