On January 31st, 2008 26 MBA graduates from such countries as the US, Japan, India, Botswana, Australia, South Africa and France attended a formal graduation ceremony at the City Club of Tokyo. The graduates who successfully completed the requirements for their Master of Business Administration degree program through the Anaheim University Akio Morita School of Business were conferred their degree by Anaheim University President Dr. David Nunan and congratulated by the Chair of the Board of Advisors Dr. Clive Grafton and Vice-President for Student and Alumni Affairs Dr. William Hartley. According to President Dr. Nunan, "It was very heart-warming to see that these global graduates from embassies and such companies as IBM, Deutsche Securities, Novartis Pharma, Hitachi, Siemens, British Airways, Marubeni and Ericsson have formed such strong bonds."

At the ceremony, a tribute was paid to founding Executive Advisory Board Member Dr. Kisho Kurokawa, the globally-acclaimed architect who passed away in October 2007. Dr. Kurokawa's widow, renowned Japanese actress Ayako Wakao who has made over 250 movies throughout her career, was in attendance as Honorary Chairman on behalf of her late husband, to help launch the Anaheim University Kisho Kurokawa Green Institute. The institute, which was conceptualized by the eco-minded Dr. Kurokawa, will offer seminars, certificate and MBA programs in Sustainable Management (named the "Green MBA") as well as confer awards to honor companies for their outstanding environmental and social contributions. Green Award nominations are currently being accepted by the Institute.
