Seattle University President,
Fr. Stephen Sundborg, S.J.

Seattle University in Seattle, Washington, USA wishes to congratulate Soka University on its celebration of 50 years of service in higher education. As a partner school with you, we join with other universities in expressing our recognition of your significant accomplishments over these years and we are confident of your future success in your service to your students and to the wider society.

As a Jesuit university and as one of the worldwide network of Jesuit universities, we recognize in particular your strategic focus on global education and the deserved honor you received as a Top Global University Project. Global education is increasingly important for all of us. Your leadership in this area sets a good example for the rest of us. We encourage you in your efforts and we seek to learn from you.

We hope that this 50th anniversary will bring you wide recognition and will encourage you in your pursuit of your strategic purposes as a global university. We are grateful for our friendship with you and the exchanges between our two universities.

Congratulations!
