Currently, Musashino University (Koto-ku, Tokyo; Nishi-Tokyo City, Tokyo; President: Seiko Konishi) is working on improving the habitability of its campuses. As part of this initiative, starting in April, the "100-yen Breakfast Project" will be launched for our university students at "Lohas Cafe (Ariake)" and the student cafeteria (Musashino) on campus. Amid continuing price hikes, this project is implemented with the aim of not only providing financial support to students but also helping them establish the habit of eating breakfast.
In implementing this project, we will open on-campus cafes and cafeterias in the morning outside regular business hours and develop special morning menus considering nutritional balance. By deliberately asking students to pay 100 yen rather than making it free, we expect this to become an opportunity for them to feel gratitude toward those who provide the meals. Furthermore, by encouraging the habit of waking up a little earlier to go to school for breakfast, we aim to establish a daily rhythm and promote health, thereby contributing to a more fulfilling campus life.
Our university will continue to create attractive campuses where more experiences and interactions can take place. Starting with this project, we plan to work on the effective use of vacant classrooms and the creation of spaces where students can interact daily.
