Who We Are
Basics:
The Waseda Business Association was founded in early 2008, formed in hopes of creating a platform through which students of Waseda University could interact with and exchange opinions, experiences and ideas where business-related areas are concerned. Having grown steadily in membership, the Association now comprises students from vastly diverse backgrounds, with expertise ranging from foreign exchange to information technology to luxury marketing.
(Sponsor: Professor Christopher Pokarier)
What We Do
The Waseda Business Association aims to facilitate the exchange of business oriented knowledge and information sharing - amongst students, through regular discussions and debates held during general meetings; and between students and professionals, through the organization of various events and talks.
Where We Come From
Our members are all students of the Waseda University (早稲田大学), and while most of our members study in the School of International Liberal Studies, we have members from other departments of the university as well. Our members are not limited to full-time Waseda students - visiting and exchange students participate in our activities regularly, and also undertake significant roles and duties in the Association. We are also a highly diversified group - our members come from all over the world, with an array of different backgrounds and experiences.
