Sign design of Tama University, School of Global Studies Tama University, School of Global Studies is established, holding a concept of “Understanding all the classes in English” with the foreign professors. Their policy is that the first step as a cosmopolitan is to able to discuss about self-identity and culture of the own country. Therefore all the signs in the campus should be written in English. We planned these signs as using the English sayings of great persons in the world and put these phrases everywhere in the campus, since signs in this campus are not only way finding system but also help for students to improve their minds and skills as a cosmopolitan. All the phrases are examined closely by foreign professors and they hope that students can see and keep in mind these sayings in their daily life at the campus.
