TAC-MI Registration Ceremony and Orientation for the Students Enrolled in AY2022 Fall Semester
Tokyo Tech Academy for Convergence of Materials and Informatics (TAC-MI) has welcomed nineteen new enrolled students. A registration ceremony and orientation for the new students were held on September 28, 2022. While taking measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the registration ceremony was held in hyflex format — meaning both in person and online — for the first time. Six second-year master’s students and eleven first-year master’s student who enrolled TAC-MI this fall and their academic supervisors participated in this orientation.
At the registration ceremony, TAC-MI Director Yamaguchi presented new students with registration certificates at the beginning of the ceremony. Then, TAC-MI Director Yamaguchi gave the ceremonial address. And, TAC-MI program sub-coordinators and TAC-MI faculty members gave a welcoming speech..
During the orientation, TAC-MI Director Yamaguchi gave an overview of TAC-MI program. And then, the chair of each TAC-MI program committee gave detailed explanation of the curriculum, financial support and events in TAC-MI.
After the orientation, a student exchange party was held by the second-year doctoral students, where they got to know the new enrolled students. The second-year doctoral students talked about the schedule of TAC-MI and the good and bad things about joining TAC-MI.
We hope that students will become world leaders as advanced “knowledge professionals” in the fields of materials and informatics through the experience of solving various problems with students from different research fields and learning various ways of thinking.
