On October 5th, 2007, CGS and the ICU Placement Office co-hosted a seminar entitled “Why Suffer from Job Burnout? Tips for Your Future Career.” The speaker, Ms. Naoko Takayama, discussed the psychological pressures that people face in the workplace and offered advice from a counseler’s viewpoint on how to avoid these problems, based on case examples of her own clients. In order to make the topic accessible for students about to embark on their job hunting and other people interested in the possible problems of the workplace, she used detailed handouts and other interesting devices such as personal checklists to enable participants to identify their own individual issues. 
On September 12th, 2007, Sumposion, an LGBIT student group at ICU, submitted a petition to the university, demanding a more LGBIT-friendly campus. The petition included proposals for reform ranging from raising the awareness of faculty members to upgrading facilities such as lavatories and locker rooms. 
On October 27th 2007, a General Assembly for the Establishment of the Japan Association for Queer Studies (JAQS) was held at Tokyo University’s Komaba Campus. Close to 300 people braved the terrible weather to attend the session, despite the approaching unseasonal typhoon.
CGS will host a bake sale from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on November 3 and 4th at the ICU Festival. Homemade muffins, cookies, rice crispy treats and brownies will be available for sale. We will also have some fun games for children. We will set up our booth near the university church. Look for our rainbow flag!
