Students from 6th and 7th classes of Tobitate! Japan and UN Youth Volunteers visit President Nishio

On Monday, July 31, 2017, 3 students from the 6th class and 4 students from the 7th class of Tobitate! Japan, as well as 2 UN Youth Volunteers, had a light-hearted talk with President Nishio, Executive Vice President Kobayashi, and Executive Vice President Yamanaka.

Receiving sage advice from the President and Executive Vice Presidents, the students were newly aware of how many individuals are expecting great things from them. We're looking forward to hearing about their experiences when they return to Osaka University, so until then, we hope the students have a healthy, safe, and enjoyable journey abroad.
