On October 3rd, we hosted a welcome lunch for incoming exchange students and double degree students in collaboration with ICC (Intercultural Communication Center) at ICC Lounge. Despite unusual heat for October, 55 students joined us to experience Japanese food culture through onigiri.
The event began with welcoming speeches from four faculty members, followed by games designed to encourage interaction among students. The atmosphere was lively, culminating in a piano performance by a member of the School of Political Science and Economics office staff. This event not only fostered connections among students but also provided a warm introduction to our campus community.
