Graduation ceremony incidents Why the venue was gone August 28th 15:52
The incident also reached the graduation ceremony. We couldn't have a ceremony at the usual venue, and the school was busy searching for the ceremony.
Next year's graduation ceremony, there are a number of schools that change. The reason is the Olympics.

Cannot use Budokan
What has changed is the graduation ceremony of the university.
The Nippon Budokan in Tokyo, which is used as a venue every year by universities with many students. The martial arts hall is a renovation work related to the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, and cannot be used next year.
When I talked to the person in charge of Hosei University, who is the secretary of the liaison meeting to be held at the eight universities that hold the entrance ceremony at the Nippon Budokan (the graduation and entrance ceremony ceremony), the Budokan cannot be used. Information entered about 3 years ago.
In recent graduations, students and parents, grandparents and siblings may also attend, and about 10,000 people gather at Hosei University.
It seems that discussions were held at universities participating in the liaison meeting, such as Nihon University, Meiji University, Toyo University, etc., but eventually we decided to find a venue for each university.
Then, considering the capacity and cost, 6 universities reached the same venue.
5 screens in that venue
Six universities decided on the venue for Kokugikan in Ryogoku, Tokyo.
However, because Kokugikan has a smaller capacity than Nippon Budokan, Hosei University has limited the number of attendants who had not been restricted to one per student.
In addition, because Kokugikan has a structure where seats are placed around the ring, seats are difficult to see, so we decided to install five large screens at the venue.
Furthermore, for those who are unable to come to the venue, the video will be distributed for the first time on the video posting site “Youtube”.
“Because I hadn't expected it, preparation was quite difficult. It was a shame as a university that I had to limit my attending attendance to one. It seems that there will be no confusion near the venue in the future. I want to proceed with preparations ”(Hosei University person in charge)
Budokan universities for over 50 years
Meiji University has also held a graduation ceremony and entrance ceremony at the Budokan since 1966, and has decided to hold at the Ryogoku Kokugikan, so the number of attendants will be reduced from the previous two to one. .
“The ceremony will be distributed on the Internet so that people who can't come to the venue will be able to understand the situation. This is the first time that the venue has been moved, so it is difficult to prepare from scratch.” Who)
Distributed graduation ceremony
“We will distribute the venues and hold graduation ceremonies!” Is the person in charge at Toyo University.
In general, graduation ceremonies were held at Nippon Budokan with over 10,000 students and parents.
This year, I will come up with a bitter plan.
There are currently 5 campuses, including the Faculty of Law and Economics in Tokyo and the Life Science and Food Environment Sciences in Gunma Prefecture. This year, we decided to do this on the 23rd of March next year.
Even at the Hakusan campus in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, which is the main campus, the maximum number of people gathered in the auditorium of the largest facility is around 700. Since it is impossible to gather all graduates and parents, the graduation ceremony was held not only in the auditorium but also in the classroom for each department, and the number of venues increased from 1 to around 30.
Ceremony is video distribution
The staff will be assigned to all the venues, so the number of teachers will be more than doubled last year.
To further prevent confusion, the graduation ceremony will be divided into two parts, morning and afternoon, except for some campuses.
The graduation ceremony is usually held by the president, but this time the venue is divided into about 30 even in the Hakusan campus alone.
On the day of the ceremony, we are also considering setting up an object that looks like a diploma, and wants to play a role in creating memories at a venue instead of the Budokan by creating a shooting spot that will “instagram”.
“I wanted to graduate from a beautiful Budokan where the cherry blossoms were beautiful, so I feel sorry. I would be happy if I could use it as a venue to talk about memories” (Toyo University staff)
In addition, Nihon University, which has the largest number of students in Japan, is considering holding at each campus because Budokan cannot be used.
From the students
Regarding the change of the venue for the graduation ceremony On the SNS, such as “The two who were able to participate have become one,” the voice that the number of people who can enter the venue decreased and “Graduation ceremony Budokan There were many posts such as "I'm sad that I can't do it" and "I don't feel like a Budokan".
Some students have heard that the graduation ceremony will be changed from Budokan, but some students said that the new venue was not officially decided. “If the graduation ceremony venues fall apart, I can't attend the graduation ceremony with my friends from the circle.
See off in front of the venue ...
The impact of the renovation of the Budokan is not only at the graduation ceremony but also at the entrance ceremony in April, and the university that moves the venue to the Kokugikan is also conspicuous.
In addition to students, parents and grandparents are increasingly participating in graduation and entrance ceremonies. Even if the number of people is limited, for example, parents can come close to Kokugikan. I think there will be many cases where the remaining two people will see off, including preparations for those people, and preparations are harder than usual. "
For both students and universities, next year, when I look back on this graduation ceremony, when I look back on this graduation ceremony, when I look back on the graduation ceremony in the future, it will be a memory with a pillow word that says, “Olympic, Tokyo Olympics! May come to be told.
