令和４年１１月１０日木曜日にグリーンホールで、短期派遣プログラムに参加した学生による報告会を開催しました。

On Thursday, November 10, 2022, a report meeting was held at Green Hall by students who participated in the short-term dispatch program.

理工学研究科（工学系）では、大学院学生の国際交流プログラムの一環として短期派遣プログラムを実施しています。今年度は、インドネシアのバンドン工科大学に４名とガジャマダ大学に２名の学生を派遣しました。

The Graduate School of Science and Engineering (Department of Engineering) runs a short-term dispatch program as part of the international exchange program for graduate students. This year, we sent four students to Bandung Institute of Technology and two students to Gadjah Mada University in Indonesia.

派遣学生が留学で得た貴重な経験を他の学生たちに伝えるため、毎年報告会を開催しています。報告会には、教員や学生に加え、短期受入プログラムで滞在中の留学生も含めた約３０名が参加しました。

We hold a report meeting every year by our dispatched students to share with other students the valuable experiences they gained while studying abroad. Approximately 30 people participated in the meeting, including faculty, students, and international students staying on a short-term program.

派遣学生６名がそれぞれの体験を報告し、派遣先大学の研究室での活動や現地の食事、人々との交流など、興味深い話に参加者は熱心に耳を傾け、各発表後には様々な質問が参加者から出ていました。コロナ禍の留学で現地の病院にかかった苦い経験も、現地の人の助けを受けてかけがえのない思い出になったと話した学生もいました。

The six dispatched students reported on their experiences, and the participants listened intently to interesting stories such as activities in the research lab at the host university, local food, and interactions with local people. Questions were asked by the participants. Some students said that the bitter experience of being admitted to a local hospital while studying abroad during the coronavirus pandemic turned into an irreplaceable memory after receiving help from local people.

派遣学生は、現地に足を運んでのみ味わえる経験があり、時間のある学生の内に是非本プログラムで留学をして欲しいと伝えていました。

The dispatched students told the audience that It was an experience that could only be experienced by visiting the country and that they wanted other students to study abroad in this program while they still had the time.
