- Special Commemorative Gift：ICU Honey
ICU has been encouraging students to take the initiative in learning various global social issues, such as human rights and environmental problems while striving for what they can do in their situation.
Thanks to the rich nature on campus, some students are engaged in bee-keeping of Western and Japanese honey bees at ICU as a project derived from the course “ENV202: Environmental Politics and Philosophy: Nature, Food, and Agriculture.” Through the whole process from bee-keeping, honey harvesting to product selling, they have tackled many issues, such as confronting environmental problems, building a local community. Addressing the reality has deepened their learning, especially about what is meant by the SDGs Goal No.12, “Responsible Consumption and Production.”
In 2022, the students finally gathered 12 kilograms of honey, and now they have reached the stage where they can sell limited quantities of “ICU Honey” (raw honey harvested at ICU). We would like to share some of this precious honey, the result of these students’ continuous efforts, as a donation gift to support this campaign.
【The Use of the Fundraising Campaign】
In 2021, ICU undertook a major renovation of the East Wing of the Diffendorfer Memorial Hall (the East Wing of D-kan). The East Wing was Japan’s first full-scale student hall, representing the philosophy of ICU. It has been recently reported as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property (Structure) to the Minister of Education. Your contribution to the “Renovation of the East Wing of D-kan” will be utilized to support its repair cost. Group donations are also eligible to apply for this fundraising. Additionally, in December 2022, the construction of Troyer Memorial Arts and Sciences Hall was completed. All the facilities and functions of the present Science Hall will be relocated to it, and large classrooms to be used by all ICU students will also be newly provided. We expect that the facility will create new human connections because students and faculty other than those in the natural sciences will also learn there. Classes are scheduled to begin at this new facility in April 2023. Donations to the “Fundraising for Construction of the New Educational Facility” will be utilized to assist in covering its construction costs.
