### Teruo Fujii President

The Center for Global Education, or GlobE, was established as a university-wide research and educational facility to further global education at the University of Tokyo.

As I have laid out in UTokyo Compass, cultivating the ability to initiate constructive dialogues across boundaries is one of the fundamental missions of higher education. GlobE now plays an integral role in that mission. Its educational programs are designed to nurture a deep insight into the present world, and a robust global outlook towards the future among our students.

GlobE is a testament to the UTokyo’s commitment to creating a campus environment that celebrates the global exchange of people and values and that contributes to the peace and prosperity of the world.

### Kaori Hayashi Executive Vice President (Diversity and Global Affairs)

Welcome to the website of GlobE!\
As Executive Vice President in charge of both global and diversity issues at the University of Tokyo, I believe these are two sides of the same coin, as nurturing a global outlook among our students is part of our larger effort to enhance appreciation for diversity, equity, and inclusion on our campuses and throughout society.

The University of Tokyo is committed to offering our students opportunities to encounter people and cultures beyond the confines of their previous experience. GlobE will be leading this effort to introduce our students to a new world of exciting discoveries so that they may understand and appreciate a wide range of ideas and values that exist beyond their boundaries.

I hope that all UTokyo students will take advantage of GlobE’s many educational programs, from Go Global Gateway to USTEP to Global Liberal Arts Courses, and learn to appreciate the challenges and value of embracing diversity in today’s world.

About Global Liberal Arts Courses…

Global Liberal Arts Courses were established in the spring of 2023 to provide more opportunities for the University of Tokyo students, including its exchange students, to study in English about some of the most imminent social issues facing the world today. In particular, these courses cover a variety of topics relating to the so-called SDGs or sustainable development goals.
