We were pleased to have finished the 2009 Active Learning Program Sequence (ALPS) with successful final presentations on the 20th and 21th of November.
The program features collaboration with MIT and Stanford University. I would like to express my deepest thanks to the professors involved in both universities.
I also extend my gratitude to the support from the GCOE Program of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, participation of JAXA, and interest and visit from many organizations and companies.
Moving on to the next topic, the November 23 Nikkei Shimbun carried a story on Page 19 about the "Keio University Graduate School of System Design and Management" that gave us an opportunity to discuss the SDM vision and activities.
We received comments and encouragement from a large number of people. I would like to thank those who took the time to express their opinions and to the people at Nikkei for featuring us.
