The closing ceremony of the 2018 Spring Semester for international students was held on Friday, August 3.

Last year, we started to hold the closing ceremony in August as a milestone of the international students' studies because many of them return home after the end of the first semester. The ceremony was held at the Library Hall affiliated library. This year, about 60 students from China, South Korea, Germany, France, Russia, Myanmar, Turkey, Indonesia and other countries attended the ceremony.

President Takahashi advised the enrolled international students to be cautious about their health during the summer vacation. Then, he sent a message to those who were going to return to their home universities: "Please remember what you experienced in this university and take it to your heart. If you have a chance, please visit Niigata University again." Following the President, an exchange student from Hanyan University in South Korea spoke for the international students in Japanese. He stated what he had learned during the stay, memories of him and Japanese students teaching their languages to each other and his goal after returning to South Korea.
