【Open Campus 2024】
Rikkyo University holds its Open Campus starting tomorrow and GLAP has its own program on Saturday, August 3. Some of the programs require reservations so make sure to check the website for Rikkyo Open Campus 2024✨

On July 16th and 19th, there will be two lunchtime events in the Global Lounge to introduce Hong Kong🇭🇰
On the 16th, there will be an introduction of Lingnan University, one of the GLAP's partner schools🤝
Please don't miss this chance to get some information for your study abroad🌟

🍱 Last Friday, GLAP students had an amazing opportunity to connect with international peers from our partner schools! 🌍✨ The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement as everyone made new friends and explored study abroad options. ✈️💫

Here are some of the schools that joined us for the lunch session:

🇳🇱 University College Utrecht
🇬🇷 The American College Of Greece
🇺🇸 Randolph Macon College
🇺🇸 UC Santa Cruz
🇺🇸 The University Of Vermont

🇭🇰 Lingnan University

At GLAP, every student has the chance to spend a year abroad as part of their studies. We hope this event was informative for our sophomores, who will soon embark on their study abroad adventures, and inspiring for our freshmen, who are just beginning to explore their options.

A few students who had returned from their study abroad program dropped by the office. We could totally see that they had wonderful experiences there and were very amazed by how much they have grown as a person !
We really hope those 2nd year students (3rd photo) who are panicking over the study abroad preparation will come back like them😉

【🎓GLAP Alumni🎓】

【🎓GLAP Alumni🎓】
A GLAP graduate Minchen, who started his own business using AI, took the stage to share his experiences and thoughts in a course designed to help students begin thinking about their future careers⭐

Hello!
In this post, Okito, a junior currently studying at John Cabot University (Rome, Italy) will share his experience of studying abroad!

1-year-study abroad (from 2nd year fall semester to 3rd year spring semester) is required for GLAP students. Students will study abroad in liberal arts colleges/universities outside of Japan, and are expected to learn about different cultures as well as to gain new knowledge and skills.

Juniors are almost at the end of studying abroad and preparing to go back to Japan! We hope that everyone can come back safely and share their experiences with the GLAP community!

We hope that this post will help future GLAP students consider how to choose a study-abroad institution and how to spend a fruitful time overseas!

He had to give up on his trip since GLAP office is open during GW holidays✈
Open: April 29th, 30th, May 4th and 6th
Close: May 1st, 2nd , 3rd and 5th.

🌸 We are thrilled to welcome new GLAP students for the new semester! On March 31st, we held a welcome hour for everyone to kick-start their new journey and get to know each other.

Hoping that everyone will enjoy their days in GLAP!!!

Hello!
In this post, we interviewed one of the sophomores, Chiharu, who is currently studying at the University of Vermont, the U.S.

1-year-study abroad (from 2nd year fall semester to 3rd year spring semester) is mandatory in all GLAP students. Students study abroad in liberal arts colleges/universities outside of Japan, and are expected to learn about different cultures as well as to gain new knowledge and skills.

Currently, sophomores in GLAP are in the second semester of study abroad. Chiharu will share her academic experiences and other activities at the University of Vermont.
We hope that this post will help future GLAP students consider how to choose a study-abroad institution and how to spend a fruitful time overseas!

Happy Valentines Day! ❤️

Love for our friends is within the air in GLAP!

For this Valentines day post, we have gathered pictures from GLAP students cherishing moments with friends on campus and created a 'digital scrapbook' for everyone to see what friendship is like in GLAP!

Students in GLAP get to belong in a diverse community, and love knows no bounds within our community. In GLAP, friendship blossoms, bonds deepen, and hearts unite in a symphony of shared dreams.

Toshi, our current 3rd year in GLAP, went to the University of Lethbridge in Canada for study abroad! 🇨🇦📚✈️
Here are Toshi's experiences abroad:

1. What was your favorite part about study abroad?
- Being able to figure out a huge part of my identity while also simultaneously trying new things

2. What challenges did you face and how were you able to overcome them?
- The biggest challenge I had was figuring out what I wanted to do in the future. I had to think small first, like instead of thinking 10 years into the future I started by wondering which major I was gonna go into.

3. Any advice and recommendations for students who plan to study in Canada?
- Take small steps and have fun!

🎓 Finishing the last page of graduation papers, -- where seniors endured late-night coffee runs, countless edits and the triumph or resilience... Otsukaresama, seniors!!

In our recent graduation paper presentation, we saw many interesting ideas and research findings, as well as how much dedication and hard work from our seniors towards completing their graduation research papers.

In their 4 years of studying in GLAP, the seniors faced and conquered challenges and embraced growth.
Our last two pictures in this post show that time when they were only freshmen! Time does fly very fast~~

Otsukaresama everyone, and we wish you a successful journey in life after graduation next month!⭐️
