The fall semester has begun, and on Wednesday, October 8th, from 11:40 a.m., we held a Welcome Open Lunch. Usually, the event is held at the Center for Contemporary African Area Studies, but this time we borrowed the neighboring TASC 401-2 room as the venue.

Professor Henrietta Nyamunjoh, a visiting professor at our center, Prof. Florence who also a visiting Professor of the The Research Institute for Languages and Cultures of Asia and Africa (ILCAA), and Prof. Wakana Shiino also joined us.

Three new exchange students who have just arrived at TUFS, current students who have returned as regular undergraduates after their exchange programs, and new African students who have joined PCS participated.

Many Japanese students who were interested also came to join us for lunch.

We hope that all the students who meet during their time in Japan will have a meaningful and rewarding experience.
