The Fall Entrance Ceremony was held in Satta Hall on the 6th floor of the Sotobori Building on the Ichigaya Campus. This fall entrance ceremony was held for new students in the English Degree Programs, in which all classes are conducted in English.

President Diana Khor welcomed the new students in her address, delivering in English, and highlighting the opportunities for meeting peers, building connections, and engaging in deep learning that university life offers. This was followed by a welcome speech from a representative of the current students and an entrance speech from a representative of the new students. The ceremony concluded with all attendees singing the university song together.

Although the new students appeared nervous during the solemn, traditional Japanese-style ceremony, they were seen relaxing and interacting with fellow new students and faculty members at the welcome party held afterward.

Congratulations to all the new students!
