Introduction of Staff Members of the International Exchange Center

I wish you all the best as you study for the entrance examination and promise that I will do my best, once you are accepted to the University, to ensure that your student life in Japan will prove to be a fulfilling one.
（Mr. Naka）

I am a mother with a son who is a university student. I must be about the same age as your parents. So think of me as your ‘mother in Japan’ and feel free to ask me anything!
（Ms. Hirayama）

Since I used to be an international student in Japan myself, I am eager to provide support to all international students.

（Ms. Sato）

As [Former Shobi students] and [Former international students] we support your full university life. We are looking forward to meeting you.
