The Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) is a model for change in higher education and research with the highest calibre international graduate students working side by side with world‐class faculty in highly advanced and well-equipped laboratories. Beautifully situated on the island of Okinawa, OIST thrives on a cross‐disciplinary culture with an emphasis on creativity, innovation, and exchange. OIST is a university with no departments, eliminating artificial barriers between people working in different fields. Students, faculty, postdoctoral scholars, researchers, and administrative staff come from all over the world. OIST has attracted a diverse, highly talented community from across the world to Okinawa to transform the way science and education can be reimagined in the global academic world.

The Center for Professional Development and Inclusive Excellence (C-Hub) was founded in 2022 to serve the academic, research, and non-academic professional development needs of the entire university. C-Hub provides programs and consultations in leadership, mentorship, teaching support, course design, career development, communication, and the promotion and active integration of diversity, equity & inclusion throughout the research, academic, and innovation mission of the university. We serve faculty, students, postdoctoral scholars, researchers, administrative staff, and administrative leadership through the application of evidence-based practices and research.

The Assistant Director for Faculty Programs (AD-FP) provides programs and consultations for faculty and members of the Science and Technology Group. Topics include mentorship; inclusive leadership; teaching; course design; communication and presentation; diversity, equity and inclusion; and other support for their ongoing needs.
