Twenty-nine students from our partner universities in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom have arrived in Kobe, and orientation started on Saturday, June 6.

We held a welcome party for international students who enrolled in April. They included degree-seeking international students and exchange students from partner universities in Asia. Konan University students and current international students also joined the event and warmly welcomed the new students. The participants introduced themselves and their home countries and enjoyed friendly conversations in a warm atmosphere.
