From Friday, August 2 to Sunday, August 4, Kyoto University of Foreign Studies (KUFS) held an open campus event attended by more than 2,500 visitors from across Japan.

Instructors from all departments, current students, and exchange students took the stage together during the opening section of the day's program. Students delivered short greetings in their respective languages of study, offered quizzes, and presented information about their regions of study, conveying the appeal of each of KUFS's different departments while providing an exciting experience for visitors.

Thereafter, attending high school students were offered the opportunity to join "Touch the World" mini-lectures in their departments of interest, where they met with and talked with others. Other events were also on offer, changing from day to day. These included the "Essay Writing Improvement Workshop," "KUFS Entry Exam Tips [for the English section of the entrance exam] ," "Community Interpretation,” "Dual-Language Learning Workshop [English and French]," and more. In addition to getting a taste for on-campus life and the University's at-home atmosphere, visitors were able to learn more about entrance examinations and the wide range of educational programs offered at KUFS.

On Sunday, August 4, the Kyoto Hannaryz, Kyoto City’s professional basketball team made an appearance on campus. It was impressive to see the high school students enjoying a free throw game with professional players.

All of us at KUFS would like to express our thanks to those who came to this open campus event.
