KUAS Student Guardian Association
Introduction
As of April 2019, our organization has been renamed the Student Guardian Association of Kyoto University of Advanced Science (KUAS), in line with the university’s name change.
The association is now composed of three categories of members: “guardians of current students”, “guardians of alumni”, and “supporting members”.

Since the founding of the university, the Student Guardian Association has consisted of all the guardians of the students. The Association is fostering communication and friendship between the university and its members; it is also actively engaged in the following programs to support students’s academic activities and campus life.
