On Sunday, August 23, Kyoto University of Foreign Studies (KUFS) held a summer open campus event.

The opening section of the event featured a performance by the hula dance club. This was followed by a screening of the video "Multilingual Relay" showcasing reasons for coming to KUFS by students in all academic departments, which provided warm encouragement for the visiting high school students. During the "Student Growth Stories" segment, a current student in the Department of German Studies, Faculty of Foreign Studies took the stage to talk, based on real-life experiences, about ways of utilizing communication skills to overcome cultural barriers when starting a social life from scratch in a new study-abroad location.

In addition, the day featured a lecture on community interpreting—a type of service which bridges gaps between medical care providers, government, public services and the like—alongside other special classes, mini-lectures, and introductions to the various KUFS departments along with their study courses and unique characteristics. The popular small-group campus tours were a success, with feedback including "The guide's cheerful and thorough explanations helped me to better envision life here on campus" and "The tour gave me a good feel for the overall campus vibe."

The event also included the "Touch the World" program through which visitors had opportunities to talk with teachers and current students from all departments, personal consultation sessions, explanations on entrance examinations and study abroad programs, career-related information sessions, and other activities and programs to help visitors become better acquainted with KUFS.

The next open campus is scheduled for Sunday, September 27 and will adopt the theme "Last-Minute Entrance Exam Preparations," centering on a preparatory workshop for the general admission entrance examinations. The event will also feature a wide range of other activities as well, so be sure to stop by!
