On Monday, September 28, 2026, nearly 300 new international students from 48 different countries and regions took part in a Welcome Party hosted by the Tohoku University Alumni & Outreach Office, the Global Learning Center, Knowledge Cast, and the City of Sendai.

Following a brief introduction to the SENDAI Global Lounge and the services and platforms offered by the Tohoku University Alumni Network, students also learned about other university organizations and student groups, including TUSTEM, SLA, IPLANET, and TUFSA.

The party then got underway, giving students the opportunity to meet one another, learn more about the activities of the university's various groups, and enjoy some delicious food in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

The event concluded with a Lucky Draw, where participants had the chance to win original Tohoku University merchandise!

The event was a great success and a wonderful way for newly arrived students to kick off their new lives in Sendai.

We are planning many more events like this throughout the year, so stay tuned!
