Sugiyama Jogakuen University has turned out several women who play an active part in the society.

Once again, they have considered the significance of Sugiyama Jogakuen’s continued promotion of girls’ education with an eye to the future.

They aim to foster women who can ask themselves questions about “what is an independent way of life for women,” think things through on their own, make their own choices, and come up with their own answers and to raise awareness of women’s participation in the society. Moreover, they aim to be a place where each person can have a sense of ownership and change what is normal in the world. 

Sugiyama has been, and will continue to be, a place where each person, faculty, staff, and students continues to question themselves and realize what they are doing. 

Against this background, Sugiyama Jogakuen University has established the tagline “I Choose Myself.”

The “I” holds countless possibilities. By questioning, thinking, communicating, and engaging with society through my own thoughts, “I” choose to become who “I” am.
