The purpose of the creation of the symbol mark and slogan

Creating a university through co-creation

In order to realize our philosophy and motto, "Aiming for the world rooted in the community and aim for the world," and to further enhance, we aim to "create a university through co-creation" while placing improvement in communication skills at the root of education. In addition, while actively promoting “co-creation” initiatives to connect with the local community, demonstrate partnerships, strengthen cooperation and cooperation, and create meaningful results with each other in all aspects of the university's activities, we aim to be a bright and open university.

Symbol mark

Intent of production

With the motif of "S" in Shimonoseki, the topography of Shimonoseki and Kanmon Straits, a symbol of the region, are raised by Shinbo. The aim is to promote the spirit of "rooted in the community and aiming for the world" which is the philosophy of the university, based on the "center circle and two "S"", which represent the individuality and inquisitive spirit cultivated and nurtured in the local climate and fluttering into the world.

The circle at the center symbolizes the university rooted in the community, and also symbolizes the light of the independent personality of each student. In addition, the fact that the whole is harmonized by the two Ss represents the philosophy of "symbiosis" and "co-creation" advocated by the university.
