On May 20, 2026 (Wed.), the Faculty of Agriculture Photo Rally was held at the Faculty of Agriculture as a Gathering of New Students and International Students 2026, with 25 new students and 27 international students participating. This event has been held since 2021 with the aim of deepening exchanges between Japanese and international students, enhancing Japanese students’ awareness of different cultures and international understanding, cultivating an international outlook, and improving their motivation to study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facilitated by International Exchange Committee Member Asst. Prof. Mizuno, the event began with opening remarks by the chair of the International Exchange Committee Prof. Lutes and Dean Prof. Ogawa, followed by a presentation by a Japanese student on her study abroad experience. After that, mixed groups of international students and new students had an ice breaker (team self-introductions), and then a photo rally was held using the campus of the Faculty of Agriculture. Each group visited four checkpoints from the starting point of BW106 Lecture Room. At the final checkpoint, the Student-Faculty Exchange Lounge, participants engaged in conversations in English while working on activities such as a Find Three Things in Common game and crossword puzzles. The group that completes the missions was photographed and received prizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New students enjoyed activities different from those in their regular classes, such as cooperating with international students in English to find the checkpoints, taking a photo with Dean Ogawa in the Dean’s office and visiting their class teachers’ laboratories. After receiving their prizes, new students and international students chatted amiably with each other, creating a friendly atmosphere throughout the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the post-event questionnaire, the participants gave high marks to the event, commenting on the joy of interacting with international students and conversing in English, as well as on their increased motivation for future language study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe that this event helped the students to feel more familiar with the international community, and provided them with an opportunity to actively think about studying abroad and interacting with international students in their future life as a student. We would like to express our gratitude to the professors, international students, and staffs who cooperated with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
