Center for Gender Equality Promotion (TUMUG) to Host Open Campus Event

On August 21, 1913, Tohoku Imperial University - the forerunner of Tohoku University - accepted Japan's first female university students. The three pioneering women were Chika Kuroda and Ume Tange who studied chemistry, and Raku Makita who studied mathematics.

To honour them and all the other women who have since followed in their footsteps, Tohoku University registered August 21 as a nationwide commemorative day.

This August, the Tohoku University Center for Gender Equality Promotion (TUMUG) is hosting an online event for junior high and high school students, with a special focus on diversity, equity and inclusion on campus.

Event: TUMUG Open Campus
Date and time: August 19 (Fri), 1 - 2:50 p.m.
Venue: Online / Zoom webinar

The Tohoku University Science Ambassadors, comprising female graduate students, will share anecdotes of campus life and their research work. They will also answer questions from participants, and offer advice on a variety of topics such as entrance exams, being a female researcher and post-graduation career paths.
