As part of the University's program to promote student volunteer activities, this meeting is intended mainly for new students to hear presentations from volunteer groups on campus on their current activities and problems they face. The purpose of this program is to develop human resources who can contribute to society through volunteer activities as a way of getting involved with the local community and contributing to society, and to help educate and spread awareness of volunteer activities.
Summary of Activities
This event is organized by "BORARA, the student staff of the University's Volunteer Support Center, and is held every April mainly for new students, but this year was the first time in three and a half years that the event was held. This year, four volunteer groups divided into booths to introduce their activities with photos and data to students interested in volunteering.
The booths were lively, with students of all grades, from freshmen to graduate students, eagerly listening to the explanations of each group and asking questions. The event was also a meaningful time for exchange among the volunteer groups, with students sharing information that they would not normally have access to, such as the concerns and challenges of each group's activities.
Photos: general explanation/groups divided into booths."
Expected Benefits
Through the active involvement of students in various volunteer activities, it is expected that students will contribute to the local community and revitalize the local community.
