	Otani University says that the response to a certain student led to the spread of a cross-departmental support system with the Student Support Department as a HUB. Based on several examples from Otani University, we will exchange information and share issues on what kind of support each organization should focus on, how to realize appropriate support, and how to provide learning and learning support in the future, as various responses are required due to the diversity of the university.

	How to support the diverse student population that current higher education accepts is an urgent issue facing many universities and junior colleges. As universities and junior colleges are required to respond in various ways due to the diversity of these programs, it is essential to systematically organize the current student support system and to understand the students and the environment in which they are placed. After that, we will discuss what kind of support system and mechanism should be set up depending on the type, scale, and environment of each school, and how to support students and learning in the future with specific case studies.
