Activities to Get Involved in at TIU
Whether you are a dedicated sports star, dabble in extra-curriculars, or simply want to try something new, there are endless ways to get involved with the community in and around TIU.
Student Leadership Internship Program
As an initiative to help give TIU students a chance to earn real work and leadership experience during their studies, the Student Leadership Internship (SLI) Program was conceptualized. Many of the school-related events are run entirely by SLI interns, and they do a lot of work to improve the atmosphere of TIU to what it has become today. All student leadership interns participate in group training sessions on off-site locations, and it is a great way to earn relevant experience for your resume.
Cultural Events on Campus
Students from all over the world unite at TIU, so there is no shortage of culture on campus. From Halloween andย Tanabataย to game nights and calligraphy seminars, there is never a dull moment on and around campus. One of our most famous events is the yearly International Festival, where students set up food and culture booths. While the food booths are a huge hit, the most popular (and fun!) part of the International Festival is that our students put on great indoor and outdoor performances, to show off the music and dance from all over the world. We also invite professional performers as well (like Arahan Taikou).
Sports and Culture Clubs
In addition to Varsity teams, there are less competitive sports and culture clubs open to all students at the university. One of the most popular clubs is the Photography Club, where photo exhibitions are held throughout Tokyo numerous times a year, and the group travels across the country to fuel their photo passion. The U.G.G. Street Dance Club is also always on the move!

Highlights
Judo Club
I am the team captain of the Judo club, and I am proud to say that our club is incredibly diverse. We have members of various backgrounds, cultures, and ages, all united by our shared passion for Judo. Beyond mastering throws and holds, we embrace Judo's spiritual discipline by fostering respect, perseverance, and humility. This shared commitment transcends the tatami, shaping us into better individuals on and off the mats. Our diverse tapestry strengthens us, each member contributing unique insights and skills, enriching our collective journey. Together, we embody the true essence of Judo, where diversity merges with unwavering dedication to forge a resilient, harmonious team.

Circles
Circles are more relaxed and social compared to clubs. They are less formal and focus on enjoying activities and building friendships rather than intense competition. Circles cover a wide range of interests, from sports and arts to hobbies and cultural activities. They are a great way to meet new people and have fun without the pressure of a rigorous schedule.
