On Monday, October 5, 2026, we held the Buddy Student Appointment Ceremony and Training Session for the buddy students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Buddy Program, launched last year, aims to help international students adapt more smoothly to life in Japan while promoting intercultural exchange. This year, 28 buddy pairs were formed, and they have already begun building meaningful connections through various activities and interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the training session, participants learned about the responsibilities, code of conduct, and mindset required to support international students with challenges they may encounter in their daily lives and on campus. During the ceremony, students were officially appointed as buddy students. Buddy students are expected to serve as bridges between international students and the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The participants showed strong enthusiasm for their new roles and a commitment to fostering mutual learning and understanding through intercultural exchange. We look forward to seeing the Buddy Program continue to create valuable opportunities for friendship and cultural exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":5746,"template":"","categories":[26],"class_list":["post-5745","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-10-23 18:39:36","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category"},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eikei.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/5745","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eikei.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eikei.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eikei.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/25"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eikei.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/5745\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5747,"href":"https:\/\/eikei.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/5745\/revisions\/5747"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eikei.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5746"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eikei.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5745"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eikei.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5745"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
