Harvard Special Session heldItabashi Campus

Harvard Special Session were held at Teikyo University's Itabashi Campus from Monday, January 6th to Friday, January 24th, 2025. This was the 13th time the lectures were held, based on the academic partnership between our university and Harvard University. The five-subject intensive lectures were offered as lectures for Graduate School of Public Health, but were also offered as courses for Graduate School in the medical departments Itabashi Campus.

This year, we invited Professor Murray Mittleman, David Wypij, and Ichiro Kawachi from the Harvard T.H. Chan Graduate School Public Health, Associate Professor Jaime Hart from the same Graduate School, and Professor Alastair Gray, Director of the Centre for Health Economics Research University of Oxford. Each of them is a leading expert in their field, having published books that have become international textbooks. The lectures were followed by lively question-and-answer sessions and small group discussions, providing an experience similar to that of a lecture in person.
The lecture was open to both inside and outside the university, and was attended by faculty and students from our Hachioji Campus and Utsunomiya Campus, as well as members of the general public, including other universities and members of the workforce. More students than last year also participated from our academic partner institutions, including Chulalongkorn University, Mahidol University, University of the Philippines, Manila, and Taipei Medical University, and they were able to deepen their international exchange through social gatherings and other activities that can only be achieved in person. More than 30 years have passed since our university and Harvard University established an academic partnership in 1993, and we will continue to deepen our exchanges in education and research, develop future talent, and contribute to society.
