Welcome Party: TUT Global House starts 2018 in a great spirit of friendship!

April 24, 2018

TUT Global House held "Welcome Party 2018" on Saturday, April 7 to welcome freshman students and deepen friendship between students living together.

 

TUT Global House is a unique shared-house style of student accommodation where both international and Japanese students live together. The resident students obtain interpersonal skills applicable globally through the everyday life and events experienced there, so it is very important for residents to get acquainted with each other and build trusting relationships. This party at the beginning of the year is an important event for that, and the senior students have worked hard to organize it.

 

At the welcome party, ice-breaking games gradually reduced the amount of distance between everyone. Then at the interaction time, seniors and juniors, Japanese students and international students, as well as faculty members and staff actively mixed and got to know each other.
There was around 100 participants in attendance and the party provided an excellent opportunity for everyone to meet new people, share stories and establish a great atmosphere of trust and friendship for the start of the 2018 academic year.
