Student Survey 2024 is open to all Tokyo Tech students online until July 24.
Every other year, the Institute conducts a survey to ensure that students have their say in making Tokyo Tech a better place. This includes changes and improvements to the curriculum, facilities, and on-campus services. The survey, which has been running since 2005, is organized mainly by voluntary student staff members. These volunteers create the survey from the students' perspective, collect and analyze data from across the Institute, hold meetings with relevant faculty and staff members regarding potential changes, and then summarize the results in a proposal to the Tokyo Tech president. The survey takes place every other year.
Tokyo Tech will merge with Tokyo Medical and Dental University in October 2024 to form Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo), which means that this will be the last Tokyo Tech Student Survey. The past two years have seen a resurgence of student and other activities to levels comparable to the pre-covid-19 era, and Tokyo Tech's campuses have truly come back to life. The construction of Tsubame Terrace, a new cafeteria on Ookayama Campus, and other facilities means that the physical environment has also seen various improvements. Despite the changes expected in 2024, reflecting the opinions of students in the community will remain extremely important.
The positive effects of the Student Survey are evident. For example, thanks to past recommendations, the Institute made significant enhancements to Tokyo Tech Portal, the online gateway to various services and information provided to Tokyo Tech students, faculty, and staff. The development of an online management system for lost and found items, an updated authorized absence system, and the introduction of food trucks on campuses were also the result of recommendations from students. While the implementation of certain suggestions requires significant amounts of preparatory work, funding, and time, the Institute strives to give due consideration to all recommendations.
Students who have not shared their thoughts yet are encouraged to do so before the submission deadline.
