The student staffs of the Language Center held a presentation that allowed them to look back on and share their accomplishments from this academic year. There were over 80 participants during the session, including KUFS faculty, staff and students, former student staffs, and over 30 participants from 14 other universities.

At the Learning Center established in April 2018, student staffs offer various forms of support in three groups: NINJA Cast, KUFSUP（kufs learning support） and Peer Tutor.

The presentation session began with a greeting from President Takeshi Matsuda. “Supporting your peers is full of positive influences. Students can receive relatable tips and advice from their peers and refer to them as role models who are easy to approach, and for the students advising their peers, it’s an opportunity for them to apply their knowledge and experience which allows personal growth. I look forward to continued success from each of you.”

The greeting was followed by an introduction of the Learning Support Community by the Learning Center’s full-time faculty. Then, the three student groups each presented their activities and discoveries in AY 2021.
First, the NINJA Cast introduced the services they offer and the events they plan and host. They also identified some current issues in the community and shared their take on solving them.
Next, the KUFSUP（kufs learning support） shared about helping students at their support desk, creating documents that offer academic assistance, and new findings from conducting their activities.
Lastly, the Peer Tutor group spoke about the times they conducted their group learning support program “Learn tips from your seniors! TOEIC & English grammar” and presented their thoughts on bettering the community.

After the presentations, certificates were awarded to the student staffs who will be graduating this academic year. The group representative expressed their gratitude by saying, “I experienced a lot of different things through my participation at the Learning Center. Sometimes we faced some challenges, but we were able to overcome them thanks to our peers, faculty and staff.”
