On 17 September 2008,
GRIPS held the Graduation
Ceremony 2008 for almost 200 graduating students at its campus in Roppongi,
Tokyo. I was one of three doctoral students to get a PhD degree this year.
This was the first time students of GRIPS had gowns for their memorial
event. Thanks to supportive guidances from professors and staffs, we could
do well. To be successful, among many people, my particular gratitudes would
go to my family, Assoc. Prof. Wade D. Pfau, Prof. Kenichi Ohno, NEU and VDF
colleagues for their continuous encouragements over the years. |
