Yuko Eguchi, MBA-IB Graduate, Class of 2024
On January 25, 2025, I had the honor of speaking at the MBA-IB Speaker Series at the University of Tsukuba. My session was titled “Managing Business Startup” and consisted of a 90-minute lecture followed by a 30-minute Q&A session.
During the talk, I shared insights on a range of topics, including:I was deeply encouraged by the active engagement of the students, who listened attentively and asked thoughtful, enthusiastic questions throughout the session. Their curiosity and passion for entrepreneurship and career development were truly inspiring. Reflecting on my own journey and sharing it with current students was a meaningful experience. I hope that my story offered even a small piece of guidance or encouragement to those considering similar paths. I look forward to continuing my own challenges while staying connected with the MBA-IB community.
Yuko Eguchi, MBA-IB Graduate, Class of 2024
I participated in the 15th Conference on Transdisciplinary Science and Technology, held on December 14 (Sat) and 15 (Sun), 2024, at the Ookayama Campus of the Institute of Science Tokyo, where I delivered both an oral and a poster presentation.
The presentation, titled “Initiatives to Alleviate Patients' Self-Perceived Burden,” was co-authored by myself (Yuko Eguchi, Part-time Research Fellow) and Associate Professor Yasunobu Kino.
At the conference, I had the opportunity to engage in discussions with researchers from various disciplines and received valuable feedback. With these insights in mind, I will incorporate them into both my research and practical activities, striving to deliver greater value through my work.
We had the pleasure of celebrating the graduation of the Class of 2025 at the end of March. It was an unforgettable occasion, made even more special by the presence of families and friends who gathered to honour this momentous achievement.
To the class of 2025,
Congratulations to the class of 2025 on your graduation and the successful completion of your 2-year MBA journey! This is an incredible achievement, and we are so proud of all the hard work, dedication, and perseverance you've shown throughout this time.
