On Friday, November 1st, 2024, we welcomed Ms. Rosemary DiCarlo, UN Under-Secretary-General, for a special lecture. This event was co-hosted by the Global Career Center and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and many students interested in international cooperation and careers in international organizations participated.

The lecture was held in a hybrid format in Room 227 on the second floor of the Research and Lecture Building, and around 150 people attended. Ms. DiCarlo gave a lecture on the theme of ��Can the United Nations fulfill its role in times of turmoil?�� and delved into the importance of international cooperation and the role of the United Nations. The event was moderated by Professor Hideo Shinoda, and the Q&A session was also very informative. For the second part of the event, a career seminar was held by a human resources representative from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), who provided specific advice on building a career at an international organization.

Prior to the lecture, Ms. DiCarlo paid a courtesy visit to President Kayoko Hayashi, and had a friendly chat with Vice President Nobuo Haruna and Professor Shinoda.
