?After the degrees were conferred and memorial medals were presented, the Dean of UGAS, Hiroki OUE, delivered his graduation address in English, encouraging the graduates with these words, “The studies for your PhD are originally related to the primary industries, such as agriculture, forestry or fisheries. The research in these fields is important in supporting the foundation of any country. Moreover, these would have links with the secondary and tertiary industries for innovation. I am convinced that you will play an active role globally in many aspects.
Lastly, new PhDs here, I do hope you continue to broaden your horizons and make your mark in the international community. Best Wishes to everyone.”
