On February 11 2023, the International Center held the ¡°Get Together Party¡± at Bunkyo campus for the first time in 3 years. This event purposes to invite people from on-campus and off-campus to whom international students have been indebted to express their gratitude and deepen exchanges.
About 100 people including about 50 international students attended.

First, President UEDA Takanori states ¡°Face-to-face intercultural exchange is important even online international exchange has developed. I deeply appreciate to all the people who are supporting our international students and wish you a successful event.¡±
Next, XU YUEFENG, a member of International Student Association from China, says ¡°I¡¯m very happy to participate this event since there are few opportunities to gather other international students due to COVID-19. Thanks to the warm support of local communities, teachers and staffs, we, international students, are able to pursue our studies. I greatly appreciate that.¡±

In the group talk titled ¡°My Another Sky in Fukui,¡± international students freely discussed with participants what they enjoyed and what they found difficult about their time in Fukui. The depth of snow in Fukui was a common topic.
Four international students gave speeches about what they had learned at the University and expressed their plans in the future.
Vice President AKASHI Yukio concludes ¡°I am very pleased that we were able to hold this get together party for the first time in 3 years. I¡¯d like to ask the local community for their continued support for international students.¡±

University of Fukui will continue to support international students and promote international exchange.
