Congratulations to the Class of 2019!

Tohoku University held its 2019 commencement ceremony on March 27, to celebrate the graduation of 4,728 students.

The event at Kamei Arena Sendai was attended by family and friends, and it was also streamed live by thousands of people online.

Speaking in both Japanese and English, President Hideo Ohno congratulated the students and said that their Tohoku University education will hold them in good stead as they begin the next chapter of their lives.

"You have acquired the expertise to realise and comprehend current needs as well as to work together with others to overcome difficulties," he said. "And you have the ability to contribute not just your discoveries and innovations, but also convey the mindset and character that led to them."

Finally he urged all students to stay in touch through the university's global alumni network. Relationships formed with friends and professors at the university will not disappear, he said, rather, "today marks the new beginning of a partnership between equals."

The Public Relations Department joins the president and the entire university in saying congratulations and good luck to the graduating class of 2019.
