Ohtake followed with his warm words of encouragement to the graduates, urging them to embrace their freedom, make courageous and impactful decisions, and live their lives to the fullest. He also presented all graduates with a challenge. “Will you take the paved, well-trodden path to a known destination, or will you blaze your trail to new landscapes and discoveries? From today, the choice is yours,” Ohtake said.
The Science Tokyo community wishes all the newest graduates continued health and success.
