Hiroshima Jogakuin University (HJU) was founded in 1886 by Rev. T. Sunamoto in cooperation with Dr. W.R. Lambuth from the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States. Under the leadership of Miss Nannie Gaines, HJU started as a school for women’s education. Since the 130th Anniversary, we have strived to advance our efforts, creating innovative women’s education, and respond to global and local issues in today’s ever-changing world. What better environment for women than an all-female institution, one which can nurture such confidence and leadership. At HJU, we define the word ‘career’ as a paid job and other undertakings such as unpaid or volunteer work, charity endeavors, household management, and even life after retirement. At HJU, we believe that everyone has a mission in life, whether it be a career or personally driven. Thus, to support HJU women, we will undertake The Empowerment Project as a 130th-anniversary enterprise. The purpose is to provide our students with opportunities to prepare for their future careers and become leaders in their community. We invite you to our campus. This is an environment where you are welcome to spend your precious school life. A place where you may fulfill your PASSION for learning. Where you may find your VISION for your future achievements, and identify your goals so you may realize your lifelong MISSION. The aim of Hiroshima Jogakuin, from its very beginning, has been the intellectual and religious culture of young women under the principles of Christianity. On that basis, HJU encourages students to strive for the mastery of academic knowledge and skills for their careers and nurture themselves to serve others. Since we live in a society where everything is becoming more complex than ever, we naturally need people as human resources who can accept different ways of thinking. They need a well-balanced and rich education, as well as specialized knowledge in their field of study. HJU offers a liberal arts education that encourages women to be themselves and has more options throughout their lives. Students learn about global issues and the importance of taking action. As an educational institution located in the A-bombed city, Hiroshima, HJU has emphasized peace education. With this background, the peace-minded HJU graduates have gone forward to careers in various fields in Japan and countries worldwide. -
