Sep 8, 2017

APU began a new system to support student initiated extracurricular activities starting from AY2017. The three categories for the support system for student extracurricular activities are Type A: Autonomous Events, Type B: Selected Project, and Type C: Enterprise & NPOs Co-create Project. Students can receive support that is appropriate for their project type.

A: Autonomous Events
Students can register for this project type if their event has a purpose and is safe, and does not violate any rules. This project type has an independent and flexible format.
B. Selected Projects
Selected projects are to be creative and exceptional projects, with a strong awareness of “Cultivating cross-cultural receptivity and collaboration skills for playing an active role in the international community,” “Utilizing academic knowledge from the regular curriculum,” and “Making contributions to society.” Selected projects will receive substantial support from the Student Office, including training and feedback to enhance planning and management skills, as well as subsidization.
C. Enterprise & NPOs Co-create Project
Enterprise & NPOs Co-create Projects are projects that work in collaboration with NPOs and other organizations outside of the University. While receiving guidance from working professionals, students are able to execute plans that would not be possible without the network of people needed to develop large-scale activities.

The groups that were selected for Type B: Selected Projects, did a presentation open to the public on Thursday, July 6 and Friday, July 7. The eight groups who made it through the application screening process explained the purpose and outline of their projects, while also responding to questions about the difficult points and details of their plans from the faculty and staff who served as judges. The following six groups were selected after this screening. Over the next half year to year, the mission for these groups will be to complete a high-quality project.
