Be a Bridge!
Based in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, the group is carrying out activities centered on "enlightenment on sanitation" to protect children's health. By introducing "cleaning activities," which are commonplace in Japanese school education, and creating trash bins to separate trash that is carelessly thrown away, the group aims to change the awareness of people living in Nepal by showing the good points of Japanese culture and customs.

This group was formed by students who want to learn about international cooperation in a practical way. We are working with students from the College of Micronesia to carry out an environmental education project for children in the Pacific island nation of Micronesia. As representatives of Reitaku University, we plan to continue our activities to help children around the world understand the importance of environmental issues.

Servant Leadership
Shift from "making others do it" to "doing it yourself" practice,
The track and field team is one step away from competing in the Hakone Ekiden.
Tatsuya Yamakawa has been the coach of Reitaku University Track and Field Team since 2010, and was appointed as the head coach in April 2017. At the Hakone Ekiden qualifying round in October 2019, he led the team to a level where they were just one place away from qualifying for the finals.
The secret is a coaching method that motivates students and encourages them to think for themselves. This technique, technically known as "servant leadership," unleashed the power of the players. This is a truly remarkable example of progress that is characteristic of our university.
What is the "servant leadership" that Director Yamakawa has adopted?
It is a leadership philosophy based on the idea that "a leader first serves others and then leads them." We treat our subordinates and members with a sense of service, think about how to maximize the organization's capabilities, and strive to create an environment that allows this. In recent years, as the business environment has changed rapidly and diversity in human resources has become more common, "servant leadership," which is the polar opposite of the "dominant leadership" that was mainstream in Japan, has begun to attract attention.
