NUGAN

NUGAN

NUGAN is an acronym for the “Nagasaki University Global Alumni Network.” NUGAN was created to be a global community of people from all over the world, connected by their shared experience of studying or working at Nagasaki University. NUGAN’s chapters and Ambassadors facilitate communication among Nagasaki University Alumni* wherever they may find themselves around the globe, bringing them closer together, providing spaces to reminisce about Nagasaki, and giving alumni an opportunity to network and advance in their careers.

^* Alumni includes:
・Those who have graduated or completed studies at Nagasaki University.
・Those who have completed a short-term study abroad program at Nagasaki University.
・Those who have been previously enrolled or employed at Nagasaki University as a faculty member or researcher.
・Those who have been recognized as such by the Director of Office for Global Relations.

NUGAN Ambassadors

NUGAN Ambassadors are selected by Nagasaki University per faculty recommendations. They are expected to leverage their knowledge and experiences at the university to advertise information about the university and support the university’s activities. For instance, ambassadors are expected to provide information about the university to students who may potentially study abroad at Nagasaki University or offer support to Nagasaki University students who are or who will be studying abroad in your region. We would also like ambassadors to assist the university to the best of their ability upon request. Finally, if there are any chapters in your area, we encourage ambassadors to work together with them.

NUGAN Chapters

Three or more alumni are needed to create a chapter and chapters can be created anywhere in the world, and each chapter operates based on its unique policies. While Nagasaki University does not provide specific regulations for chapter operations, each chapter is expected to conduct at least one event or activity annually, maintain logs of its members, and offer opportunities to foster interaction between them. You may choose to promote your chapter’s activities on a website or social media services so that chapter members can be abreast of new information and collaborate accordingly.

There are no specific geographical restrictions for chapter acknowledgment. You may submit an application to establish a chapter that encompasses your country/region, your continent, or a city, for instance. Existing organizations that are already active can also apply to be recognized as a formal NUGAN chapter.
