Message to Potential Candidates to Ogawa Seminar:

My name’s Gao Yinkan, I am from China. It is my great honor to become one of the members of the big Ogawa family. Since I just returned to campus from being a bank employee, I had not been involved in academic research for a long while. I appreciate that Professor Ogawa takes a long and broad view of recruiting students from distinctive backgrounds and experiences. As is written in one of his publications, hementioned that everyone has an equal right to be educated, regardless of nationality, cultural beliefs, and gender, and that become the big reason for me to give it a try. From the moment I arrived at the Ogawa seminar, I was impressed deeply by the warm atmosphere filled with a diversity of cultural backgrounds, which made me look forward to the following academic life.
Moreover, I hope that in the future I would have the opportunity to do internships in various international organizations as my Seminar-mates did. If you have a passion to improve your academic capacity and international perspective in all aspects, I believe joining the Ogawa family is the wisest choice.
