Post #11: President Hibiya

President Hibiya

As I think of now, it was a great pleasure to have our president talk in front of a class of 22 students. Ms. Hibiya gave us a presentation on leadership. I have some reflections for this lesson.
First of all, I cannot believe that it was her first slides made by herself, because her presentation was very detailed and profound even with only 5-6 slides. I had been thinking that she is an ICU graduate,  so it made me even more surprised that she got to become the president of ICU. From her presentation, I learned that she experienced several turning points: spending time at Sophia, U Penn, Keio, Dartmouth and finally at ICU. I had never thought that Dartmouth and ICU share similarity in terms of college environment (a lot of nature). She also talked about her difficulty about being a female leader in the first few years. Nowadays we consider normal for females to lead the group, but it was irregular those days. Typical "old-men" were the leaders.

Although it was a great presentation, I think I could not learn much about leadership qualities, as Ken mentioned in class today.  I wanted more time to ask questions. Since Ms. Hibiya gave us her email address, I would like to send her an email to ask some important questions.

    I guess you're right about how she didn't really explain us about leadership qualities... But I still think her presentation was very pretty and that there were some interesting points that we might actually be able to relate to. It would be great if we could have another presentation where we could bombard her with millions of questions! lol
    and...
    HAPPY BIRTHDAY:)
    Hope you had a great day!!!

  2. I am very pleased that you liked Hibiya sensei's presentation. Seeing so many positive comments from so many of you, I feel I was overly negative, which I regret. I was just hoping for more on leadership and for all of you to ask her questions, but it seems all of you were simply pleased to have such a fun, personable, interesting woman as our president, which is great.
