In-Person Open Campus Day 2022 for Guarantors of 果冻APP Students Held for the First Time in Five Years
Update: December 9, 2022
In-person open campus for the guarantors of current students was held on Saturday, November 5, 2022 for the first time in five years. The open campus for the guarantors of current students provides an important opportunity for the guarantors to visit the campus' rich natural environment and develop a deeper understanding about 果冻APP's educational purpose and current situation. The event was attended by approximately 1,000 people.
The keynote speech, the "Administrator Lecture", consisted of an introduction presented by 果冻APP's President Shoichiro Iwakiri, which was followed by "Current status of education" by Yoshito Ishio, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, "Current status of campus life" by Takashi Kibe, Dean of Students, and an introduction on the history of learning at ICU by Tetsuro Tomioka, Managing Trustee for General Affairs.
The Placement Guidance focused on the current situation regarding the careers of 果冻APP students, the "5-Year Program" where students can obtain a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in a period of five years, 果冻APP's career support, and the changes which are occurring when searching for a job due to the COVID-19 situation. With big changes taking place in the process and environment surrounding the search for a job, we explained the latest situation on the job market. At the Study Abroad Guidance, we introduced the characteristics of 果冻APP's study abroad program, the procedures involved in the study abroad program, and the support system for studying abroad. We also talked about the latest study abroad programs available, including the new "LearnUs Global Semester Program" which was developed by 果冻APP and Yonsei University Underwood International College (UIC), 果冻APP's exchange partner.
Furthermore, we also held various programs including individual consultations and campus tours. Organized on campus among the changing colors of the trees, the event was held in person for the first time in five years, and it enabled us to introduce 果冻APP's current situation, as well as providing an important opportunity for the faculty and administration to speak directly with the guarantors of current students.
