Deepening Bonds Through Reciprocal Exchange
A highlight of this year’s program was the heartfelt reunion with students from the partner institutions who had visited Tohoku University for a short-term program earlier in February. These host students, who had previously experienced life in Sendai, welcomed our students warmly, guiding them through their cities and sharing meals together. This "bidirectional exchange" significantly enhanced student satisfaction and further strengthened the bonds between Tohoku University and the CA+inD partner institutions.
