  • RASA-Japan SINCE 1985 RASA Newsletter July 2013 Edition, Volume 14
    2013 年 7 月号 VOL.14 NPO 法人 RASA-Japan SINCE 1985 RASA Newsletter July 2013 Edition, Volume 14 Dear Friends of RASA, I would like to wish all of you the peace and love of God and thank you for your generosity in helping us. Here, I would like to write a little about our recent activities and our immediate plans for the fu- ture. On Saturday, May 25th, we had our annual meeting at Hirabari Catholic Church, which was led by Mr. Norio Fujii, our Office Manager. Besides our staff and regular members, I was delighted to see some of last year's volunteers at the meeting. After we finished our official business, they gave a power point presentation of our activities in Angeles City, Pampanga Province, a two-hour drive north of Manila, where we worked last year. Ever since that time, these volunteers have been giving a great deal of their time to support RASA. Their generosity is an inspiration to all of us. We finished the first of our three study session on Saturday, June 15th. It took place in one of the large dining rooms of Nanzan University, Nagoya campus. Almost all of those committed to the pro- gram this summer—fifty-two volunteers—were present at the meeting. We will be in the Philippines between Thursday, August 15, and Sunday, September 1. It seems that the government has reduced the ODA (Overseas Development Assistance) funds to half of what they have been providing. Because of this, we decided that RASA alone would provide the funds for our school-building program this summer.

  • President's Position Statement for 2009
    President’s Position Statement for 2009 To All Faculty, Staff and Students at Nanzan University Last year, in the Nanzan University Grand Design, Nanzan University shared its vision as the sole Catholic university in the Chubu region. That vision is “to contribute to the creation of values that arise from people living and working together while respecting human dignity, building on the recognition of diversity and the understanding that various differences exist among people in terms of ethnicity, ability, religion, culture, and gender.” In last year’s President’s Position Statement, I stated that in order for the mid- to long-term goals of the Grand Design to be achieved, “unceasing self-reform” and “internal enrichment to bring about the ‘Nanzan Difference’” will be needed. I believe that “internal enrichment” means that every person constituting the University needs to enrich their individual strengths. I would like you to continue working toward making that a reality this year. The Nanzan University Grand Design is not a fairy tale, but is a realizable future image of Nanzan that we have the serious responsibility to bring about. Every constituent member of this university needs to embody that fact in their daily activities. The policies outlined in this year’s Position Statement were determined based on the recognition that further enrichment in Research, Education, and Social Contribution is necessary for us to be able to achieve the Grand Design mid- to long-term goals. I. Basic Position 1. Advancement of Education that Differentiates Nanzan as a Catholic University The raison d’être of Nanzan University is to “disseminate broad knowledge and to conduct and instruct specialized research based on a Christian world view and thereby develop individuals who respect and advance human dignity.

  • AIEA Provost Perspectives: the Liberal Arts and Internationalization
    AIEA PROVOST PERSPECTIVES JUNE 2015 The Liberal Arts and Internationalization: Leveraging Student Mobility, Partnerships, and Faculty Hires Mette Hjort • Lingnan University Associate Vice President (Academic Quality Assurance & Internationalization) and Chair Professor of Visual Studies PROVOST PERSPECTIVES Name: Mette Hjort Title: Associate Vice President (Academic Quality Assurance & Internationalization); Chair Professor of Visual Studies Time served as Provost: Two years (as of June 2015) With historical roots extending back to the 1880s in Guangzhou on the Chinese Mainland, Lingnan University is one of eight government-funded universities in Hong Kong and the only liberal arts institution in the sector. Located in Tuen Mun, in the western New Territories, Lingnan University draws on both Chinese and Western traditions in its provision of liberal arts education. Lingnan is a fully residential, English medium-of-instruction university with a strong commitment to Service Learning and Internationalization. The University enrolls about 2,500 undergraduates and about 500 research and taught postgraduate students and is deeply committed to the provision of quality education to students from lower income backgrounds. Mette Hjort joined Lingnan in 2005 when the University, building on its acknowledged strengths in analytic aesthetics, secured government support for the creation of a new interdisciplinary Visual Studies program oriented toward capacity building in the visual arts. The larger context for the University’s initiative was the government’s ambitious plans for a West Kowloon cultural district, a project designed to make art and culture central to Hong Kong’s further development in the Post-Handover era. A Dane who grew up in Kenya and was educated in the UK, Holland, Switzerland, Canada, and France, Mette’s training encompasses comparative literature, philosophy, media studies, and art history.
