On Friday 17 April OCU welcomed its new international students with a party on the 10th floor of the Media Center. The welcome party is one of the two largest annual exchange events for which all international students, Japanese students and academic staff are invited.  

The organization was in the hands of the OCU Global Members (OGM), a student group promoting international exchange at OCU. After a welcome speech by President Nishizawa and a video message from the Chairman of the OCU International Students Association Anton Mircha, they had arranged a game with prizes, followed by a swinging performance by a-capella group Accord. The Accord show was definitely a good example of how much fun the extra-curricular club activities at OCU can be.  

Last, a big thank you to the OCU Education Supporters Association, who kindly provided the delicious buffet, game prizes and enthusiasm to make our students feel at home. 

We hope everybody had a chance to make lots of new friends and wish you all a great time at OCU!
