Following a welcome from Prof. Hagio, Director of the International Management Office, Prof. Tsutomu Tomotsune gave a brief explanation of the university and university entrance, after which Sol Dasika (School of Language and Culture Studies Japanese language 2nd year), who is studying abroad at TUFS from Australia, gave an introduction to university student life. The secondary school students asked questions on topics including the university entrance process, course selection, finding employment after graduation and interaction with Japanese students. Afterwards, they were given a tour of the library and observed a lesson conducted in English.
