It is our great pleasure to have the first two graduates from Tokyo Tech Academy for Super Smart Society, and we had a graduation ceremony. Congratulations, Dr. Yin Yue and Dr. Ribeiro Lisa!

Prof. Nishihara had a heart attack in the middle of February and was hospitalized for about two weeks. By cardiac catheterization, he is recovering.

2022 IEEE Region 10 Executive Committee Meeting was held online on 9 January 2022 and we discussed the 2021 summary and 2022 plan. We had to have the meeting online for two consecutive years because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We all remember the face-to-face R10 ExCom meeting in 2020.

Prof. Nishihara attended IEEE Japan Metro Area Workshop on 30 October 2021, SYWL (Students, Young Professionals, Women in Engineering, and Life Members) Workshop and Sapporo LMAG (Life Members Affinity Group) Inaugural Event on 31 October 2021, all at Hokkaido University

The first Tuesday of October is IEEE Day. We had a celebration party on 5 October 2021, just after the 19th IEEE Engineer Spotlight webinar. There was a difficult quiz competition about IEEE, where Prof. Nishihara won the third prize.
