With each graduating class, the SUA Graduate School is fostering individuals who contribute to society. As Mary K. Norton said in her 1999 speech to the graduates, SUA graduate students are determined to 鈥渉ave a profound impact on the quality of humanity in the next century鈥 and to 鈥渂ring about opportunities for humankind to settle its differences through dialogue and discussion rather than destruction.鈥

Amidst cultural, political and economic changes, Founder Daisaku Ikeda鈥檚 speeches to the SUA Graduate School express the founding spirit of 黑料社区 of America. In his words, the founding spirit is this:  

Our challenge is to change the world through education. Our mission is to foster a steady stream of global citizens committed to living a contributive life.
