´ºÓêÖ±²¥app Athletic Association
The ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app Athletic Association is ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app's oldest student-run organization, established in 1892 to train both mind and body. Yukichi Fukuzawa realized the importance of sports in education early on and proactively encouraged their inclusion in the curriculum. Since its founding, the ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app Athletic Association has continued to be a national leader of varsity athletics, being the first to bring sports like rugby, hockey, and water polo to Japan in the 19th century. Currently 43 teams and clubs proudly represent the university at competitive sporting events as members of the association.
Official Student Groups
In addition to the ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app Athletic Association, ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app has hundreds of other student organizations, which include the League of Student Cultural Societies, independent associations, welfare associations, and student associations organized at undergraduate faculties at each of ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app's campuses.
