The Department of French Studies Alumni Gathering is planned and operated by volunteers from the French Association. This latest Gathering was attended by 51 department graduates.

The first section of the event included a campus tour by students in the French Research Association, a talk titled "Current State of KUFS" by Kyoto University of Foreign Studies (KUFS) Vice President Shinichi Funasugi, and another titled "Current State of the Department of French Studies" by Department Chair Tomoko Nakayama. Afterward, department alumni currently residing in France provided a report on their life outside of Japan.

During the event's second segment, Professor Emeritus Yoshitsugu Misumi spoke a few words as he led all present in a toast. Participants enjoyed French food and wine while reconnecting with former teachers and classmates and getting to know other students.
