Abstract
The current study reviews the collaborative activities conducted between the Health Science University（the University） and the town of Fujikawaguchiko（the town） in 2017. It also evaluates the extent to which goals set by the “Agreement on Community Collaboration” were achieved. As per the “Co-ownership of Intellectual
Property” listed in the agreement, three lectures aimed at the community members were organized by the University professors. The theme of this year’s lectures was on “A healthy lifestyle.” The first lecture was by a professor at the Kawaguchiko Camus, who is an expert in Chinese health techniques. The second lecture was in the new Tsuru Campus by the dean of the faculty of Nursing as an event in the University festival. The third was part of the town festival, “Community Festa,” by a University professor whose specialty is physical therapy. Meanwhile, governmental
officers in the community organized lectures for the University students and introduced the work contents and problems. Eighty students completed the course this year. The University students became actively involved in local volunteer works, such as in a disaster drill operation in case Mt. Fuji erupts and as “Health Science University Walking-and-Cleaning Troops.”
