APU invites guest lecturers whose expertise covers a wide range of fields to speak at social outreach seminars to contribute to students’ learning and research while providing them with knowledge they can use when they enter the real world. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the seminars were mostly held online in AY2020, and a total of 608 students attended them. It was an extremely exciting and invaluable opportunity for APU students to hear directly from experts on the front lines, and these talks surely provided them with suggestions for new goals and ways of thinking.
