The Graduation Ceremony for Hiroshima Jogakuin University was held on March 15. It was a momentous occasion for all concerned and it was great to see so many happy student faces, four years more mature than when we first met them at the Entrance Ceremony in April 2020. At our department program we wished our students well and handed out some English awards.

It was a very kind gesture and one that was appreciated by all the staff in the Department of International English.

When it was time to finish, there was time for photographs with students and staff - providing precious memories for all.
