I have ordered Chair, Shimonoseki City University, a public university corporation. The history and tradition, which has been a four-year university with Shimonoseki Commercial Junior College as its predecessor, and 17 years since the incorporation of a public university, is carved in my heart, further development of our university. I will do my best.

By the way, Japan has already shifted to a full-scale population-declining society, and the 18-year-old population has been almost halved since its peak in 1992. In addition, the wave of technological evolution and globalization are increasing, and the world is only increasing uncertainty, such as endless conflicts and the occurrence of new infectious diseases. These trends are inevitably demanding universities to change, and local public universities are no exception.
Under these circumstances, the university has long been a college of Faculty of Economics, but Faculty of Data Science joined in April 2024 and Faculty of Nursing (provisional name) in April 2025 the following year.
"To one ahead of the future. Free and open learning. With the new university brand concept, we will promote interdisciplinary and diverse education and research by integrating three different fields of economy, data science, and nursing. We will aim to solve social issues and contribute to the community while re-examine the significance of the existence of Shimonoseki City University in Shimonoseki City.

Even as a corporation, we will promote initiatives to make the new course of this university even more powerful, and we look forward to your continued support and cooperation.
