We continued to take measures in order to secure the number of applicants in the 2015 Academic Year as we assessed various challenges around the entrance examination and evaluated the examination system as well as holding events such as the High School and University Collaboration in cooperation with the Association of Iwate Prefecture High School Principals.
In terms of the Project of High School and University Collaboration and the public relations activities of the entrance examination, on top of usual University Guidance and Consultation Fairs, we also held additional Consultation Fairs for Entrance Examination for parents of high school students at 5 locations in Iwate Prefecture. In Morioka, we conducted new bus tours that drive around the campus.
At an Open Campus that was held several times of a year, there were exhibitions to introduce the campus life of students as well as a few events such as a workshop by students of IPU and high schools in various manners.
We also tried to appeal to the applicants in various manners,for instance enhancing advertising activities such as holding a campus tour and visiting high schools,by a campus attendant,having lectures at high schools in and out of Iwate prefecture and holding touring sessions of the university.
