Happy students and staff preparing our exhibits

HJU held its annual Ayamesai at the weekend and the Department of International English welcomed visitors to our Open Campus event. As always, the department student helpers did an excellent job.
(広島女学院大学の大学祭「あやめ祭」が開催されました。その日に合わせてオープンキャンパスも実施し、国際英語学科では、高校生をお迎えする学生スタッフが活躍してくれました。)

Department staff and students preparing for the event

There were lots of smiles, lots of information passed on to visitors, and an English cafe where we could speak English with those who joined us. In fact, those that visited the cafe ranged in age from 3 years old to 84!
(大学での学びに関してご紹介するとともに、 Englishカフェのコーナーでは、幅広い年齢の方々(なんと3歳から84歳まで!)が英会話を楽しみました。)

A final check of the preparations before visitors arrive

Our department students were busy all over campus on the day. Some were assisting in the running of the Ayamesai itself; AN was dealing with the Haunted House (watch out for the zombies!); HU and AM were performing music on stage; TK was working on a creative art project; HF was selling yakitori with her clubmates; and NT was broadcasting the events all over campus as part of the broadcasting club.
(学科の他の学生たちも、様々な場所であやめ祭を盛り上げてくれました。お化け屋敷を企画・運営したANさん、バンドでステージ演奏をしたUHさんとAMさん、宗教センターでアートのプロジェクトに携わったTKさん、仲間と一緒に焼き鳥を販売したHFさん、放送部としてステージの司会を担当したNTさん、などなど。)

Everyone seemed to have a great time at the Ayamesai and the Open Campus. We are already looking forward to next year.
(あやめ祭もオープンキャンパスも大成功。来年も楽しみです。)
