Ushering in a new age with the power of learningSince its opening in 1990 as Keio University's "experimental campus," SFC has been tasked with charting a course for the future and leading the University into a globalized, networked society of the 21st century. In that time, it has graduated nearly 20,000 students, many of whom have already gone on to achieve renown in their fields. As we approach our 25th anniversary in 2015, we want to use our intellectual assets that have been built up through initiatives to foster "problem discovery and problem solving skills" and encourage "self-directed, decentralized, collaborative education" to take on new global-level challenges. The Miraisozojuku is a significant step forward into the future.

Keio University is working to globalize research and education and bring new energy to Japan by creatingthe "Miraisozojuku" ( Institute for Designing the Future )

for residential education and research.

The leaders of SFC's three faculties and two graduate schools are committed to the Miraisozojuku.

Developing the Capacity of the PeopleThe missions of Keio University are to provide a place of learning that is open to everyone and to train leaders who will raise the

capacity of the people. Yukichi Fukuzawa, the founder of Keio University, famously said in his autobiography, Fukuo Jiden, "The

status system of feudal society is my father's enemy." Following the Meiji Restoration, he pursued not a single position in

government; instead he devoted his life to building the capacity of the people through writing and the education offered at

Keio University. Those are our roots, and this is where we turn for inspiration and guidance. The Miraisozojuku project at SFC is

both a new form and a new forum for achieving the mission of Keio University. The"people" in this case are not limited to just

the people of Japan. I was asked to chair the Fundraising Committee because of my deep agreement and

support for the ambition of making the University even more open and accessible to people from other

countries. Had Fukuzawa been alive in this age of globalization, I believe he himself would have put into

prac t ice these ideas and init iat ives, which seek to accommodate change. I t is my hope that the

Miraisozojuku wil l develop the ski l ls of people who contr ibute not only to the reconstruction of

post-earthquake Japan, but also to the solution of the challenges that confront the world at large. I look

forward to working with you in this endeavor.

The SFC Miraisozojuku will chart the future of Keio UniversityIn 2010, the Keio University Shonan Fujisawa Campus (SFC) celebrated the 20th anniversary of its opening. Positioned as an

"experimental campus" from its very beginning, SFC has pursued significantly more advanced education and research than was

being performed at other universities in Japan. Now, SFC is launching a new initiative for residential education, which is still

relatively uncommon in Japan. Land adjacent to the current campus has already been acquired for the

project. The next step is to build the Miraisozojuku that will serve as the core residential facility. The

Miraisozojuku will be more than just another SFC building; it will become a key hub that will serve as the

global gateway for Keio University as a whole. It will enable young people who arrive in Japan from other

countries with only what they can fit into a suitcase to immediately begin participating in the educational

and research activities of Keio University. It is our ambition to infuse the Miraisozojuku with ideas that

chart the future of Keio University and we look forward to your generous support.
