#GeneralSigned a naming rights agreement with Shimonoseki City University Alumni Association
A ceremony was held to commemorate the conclusion of the naming rights agreement with Shimonoseki City University Alumni Association.
Since January 2022, we have decided to certify naming rights for facilities owned by the University in order to improve the educational and research environment, and we are recruiting corporations that wish to do so as naming rights partners.
Shimonoseki City University Alumni Association has applied for naming rights for Active Learning Studios, and an agreement has been concluded on September 8, 2022.
As a result, the name of the Active Learning Studio will be "Minerva Studio" from October 4, 2022 to October 3, 2025.
This is the second issue of NAIST's naming rights agreement.
In his greeting, Shintaro Tominari, Chairman of the Shimonoseki City University Alumni Association, said, "I thought that the Shimonoseki City University Alumni Association could be useful to students, so I applied for naming rights. I would be very grateful if this naming rights agreement could be used to enhance the educational facilities of students. "
Mr. Yamamura said, "I would like to thank the Shimonoseki City University Alumni Association for many years for their support from students' lives to improving the learning environment. Based on the passion of 22,300 members of the Shimonoseki City University Alumni Association, I would like students to use "Minerva Studio" with attachment."
We will continue our naming rights system in the future.
◆Meaning of "Minerva"
"Minerva" is a term used as the title of the Shimonoseki City University Alumni Association, and is quoted from a passage in the preface to "Philosophy of Law" by German philosopher Hegel, "The Owls of Minerva fly in the twilight".
Minerva is the Statue of Wisdom and Beauty, and Owl is the messenger of the goddess. A wise owl waits for the dusk to fly. Why, and where are you flying? The twilight is the entrance to the night. Wisdom is the way to live in dark times and get out of fear.
The word "Minerva" of the Shimonoseki City University Alumni Association expresses the desire that Shimonoseki City University should be a learning forest where the owls of Minerva fly, based on the aspirations of working students who lit the light on a dark night.
