YCU PR Magazine - whistle
YCU PR magazine "whistle" was born for the purpose of helping you learn about the activities of Yokohama City University. The magazine name 'whistle' combines the image of a sail advancing into the further with the image of the international harbor city Yokohama.
We publish quarterly and distribute the magazine widely inside and outside the university.
Some articles can be read in English, and you can see all back numbers(Japanese) in PDF.
