本学の卒業生や様々な分野で働く女性を毎回ゲストスピーカーに招き、今後の大学生活や女性のキャリア形成について考える経営学科の講義「キャリアデザイン特講Ⅰ」が始まりました。

 

武庫川学院がMUKOJO　Visionに掲げる「一生を描ききる女性力を。」を、多彩な仕事を通して考える連続講義です。この講義では西口智美准教授ら4人の教員が自身の専門領域から講師を招き、計13人のゲストが講義を行います。

 

9月27日の講義では初・ゲストとして本学の米田浩子広報室長が「記者の視点で仕掛ける広報」というテーマで講義を行いました。米田広報室長は本学が展開する広報について、新聞記者・フリーライターとして活躍していた話を交えながら説明。また、結婚・出産・介護を経た自身のライフイベントとそれに伴うキャリアの変化についても話しました。

 

仕事内容がイメージしにくい広報の話に学生たちは興味津々。「PRしたいことに愛を持って接することが大切」「『ない』と言わない広報を目指す」などの米田さんの言葉に、学生たちは真剣に耳を傾けていました。タイトルの「記者の視点」について「物事を画角を広げて大局的に見ると同時に、レンズをズームアップするように詳細を見つめる両面を心掛けること」と言い、「広報で大事なことは何ですか」という学生からの質問に「自らが学院の一番のファンになることが大事。事実や固有名詞を間違えないよう校正に力を入れています」と答えました。

 

受講した学生は「米田広報室長が新聞記者時代に身に付けたスキルがあるからこそ、今できている仕事もあると知り、何事も未来に繋がるのだと感じた。今私がしていることも未来の自分に役立つと信じ、頑張りたいと思いました」と話しています。

 

この講義を担当する西口准教授は「将来に対して不安がある学生に、武庫川女子大学で学びを通じてなりたい自分を見つけてほしい。学生の間に必要な学びやスキルをしっかりと手に入れ、結婚や出産などのライフイベントを経験しても、再スタートできることを知ってもらいたい。一生を描ききる女性力をこの4年間で身に付けてほしいです」と話しました。

 

今後はフリーランスの建築家や製品開発者、元尼崎市市長など多岐に渡る女性が登壇する予定です。

 

The Department of Business Administration has begun "Career Design Special Lecture I" a series of lectures on future university life and career development for women, inviting alumni of the university and women working in various fields as guest speakers each time.
 
The lecture is a series of lectures to examine Mukogawa Gakuin's MUKOJO Vision of "empowering women to create a life-long career" through a wide variety of jobs. In this lecture series, four faculty members, including Associate Professor Tomomi Nishiguchi, invite lecturers from their own specialized fields, and a total of 13 guests give lectures.

The September 27th lecture was the first guest lecture by Hiroko Yoneda, Director of the University's Public Relations Office, on the topic of "Public Relations from a Reporter's Perspective." Ms. Yoneda explained the public relations activities of the university, sharing stories from her career as a newspaper reporter and freelance writer. She also talked about her own life events of marriage, childbirth, and nursing care, and the career changes that accompanied them.

The students were intrigued by the story of public relations, which is difficult for them to imagine what the job entails. The students listened intently to Ms. Yoneda's words, such as "It is important to be in touch with what you want to promote with love" and "Aim to be a PR person who never says 'no.'" In reference to the title "A Reporter's Perspective," Ms. Yoneda said, "You have to look at things from a broad perspective and at the same time try to look at both sides of the picture, as if you were zooming in on the details. I put a lot of effort into proofreading to ensure that facts and proper nouns are correct."

 A student who attended the seminar said, "I learned that she is able to do the work she does now because of the skills that Ms. Yoneda acquired as a newspaper reporter. I believe that what I am doing now will also be useful for my future self, and I want to do my best."

Associate Professor Nishiguchi, who is in charge of this lecture, said, "I want students who are uncertain about their future to find who they want to be through their studies at Mukogawa Women's University. I want them to know that they can learn and acquire the necessary skills while they are still at university, and that they can resume their careers even after experiencing life events such as marriage and childbirth. I want them to acquire the strength of a woman who can envision their life in these four years," she said.

A wide variety of professional women, including a freelance architect, a product developer, and a former mayor of Amagasaki City, are scheduled to speak at the upcoming events.
