Background: This project began last year (FY 2025) as part of the curriculum for 1st and 2nd-year students (now 2nd and 3rd-year students) under the theme "Connecting Books and People, Delivering 'MU' Spirit." Students focused on various aspects of POP creation, such as how to convey the charm of their chosen books in short phrases, what language stops readers, and the intended target audience.

Commemorative Lecture: During the exhibition period, a lecture was held to celebrate the publication of "How to Level Up on My Own Before Comprehensive Selection" (Musashino University Press) by Yoshitaka Nakamura, former principal of Musashino University Junior High School and current Managing Director of Musashino University. On the day, he discussed the "self-improvement" aspects mentioned in the book and shared episodes from Musashino University Junior High School in a humorous quiz format.
