■ Message
Message to undergraduate students: Life is long but the golden time we have for learning is short. Use your time at APU wisely. A solid learning equips you for uncertain futures; pleasant experiences make life meaningful. Message to graduate school students: Studying management also means learning how to manage one’s own life. I hope that you have a fruitful and pleasant academic time and enjoy Beppu’s calm beauty, relaxing hot spring, and Japanese food.
