2026 Representative Election Announcement
Notice to those running for representative at the 2026 University Co-op General Assembly
March 9, 2026 University of Tokyo Co-op Board of Directors Office
1. What is a "Representative" of the Co-op? The
Co-op's General Assembly (similar to a shareholders' meeting in a company) is held once a year to review financial statements, approve the budget, and elect officers.
Those who participate in the General Assembly are the "Representatives," who are representatives of the members. The Co-op is comprised of representatives elected from each constituency, including undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty and staff. The University of Tokyo Co-op is funded by the contributions of its members and aims to contribute to their welfare, so we believe it is important to hear your frank opinions.
The term of office for a Representative is one year. After the General Assembly, we will also set up opportunities to report on the Co-op and receive your opinions. We will send you an invitation from the Co-op, so please join us there as well.
2. Requests to all representatives
1) Attend the Co-op General Meeting on Saturday, May 30th (attendance by written submission is also possible). Online pre-meeting briefings will also be held (May 18th and May 20th).
2) Attend opinion-gathering sessions throughout the year.
* We will send you an invitation, so please participate to the extent possible.
