It was a big celebration attended by university officials including President UENO Masao, Executive Trustee of Academic Affairs TAKEMOTO Tamotsu, Dean of the Graduate School INUI Koji, Dean of School of Arts and Letters TAMOGAMI Kenjiro, Dean of Graduate School of Arts and Letters MIZUNO Hiroko, members of the Meiji University Clinical Psychologists Association , which is organized by graduates, along with graduate students.
