On Wednesday, February 21, Onwukeme Ijoma Antonia, a research student in the Faculty of Education, interacted with 10 students from Owerri Girls Secondary School, Imo State University, and Namdi Azikiu University in Nigeria. The presentation presentation included not only an introduction to Ehime University’s campus and activities, but also pictures of Matsuyama’s rent, which was very interesting. During the exchange of opinions, we actively approached the participants and drew their interest in Ehime University.
On Tuesday, February 27, Tong Udom Silaporn, a third-year doctoral student in the Graduate School of Science and Engineering, held an exchange program with one faculty member and 20 students from the University of Burapa, Thailand.

Finally, on Friday, March 1, Aziz Shoaib, a second-year doctoral student in the United Graduate School of Agricultural Sciences, gave a presentation to the Khwaja Fareed University of Engineering and Information Technology in Pakistan, which was attended by over 80 people, both professors and students. It was impressive to see how eagerly they listened to his presentation on the increasing number of foreign students in Japan and the scholarships offered by Ehime University. At the end of the session, many questions were asked, indicating the high level of interest in studying in Japan and Ehime University.
We are very hopeful that these activities will lead to a recovery in the number of foreign students and the acquisition of excellent foreign students in the future.
