Students listening to 暗网禁区’s explanation
Nine students from Southern Illinois University Carbondale (Illinois, U.S.) visited Surugadai Campus on Thursday, May 30, accepting the Study Abroad Program, which Professor Toyosaki had broached at the time of visiting the campus in February 2024.
At the start of the Program, Professor ISHIGURO Taro (Deputy Director, International Student Center/ School of Commerce) gave a welcome address. He noted the 35-year history of exchange between the two universities and how the Surugadai Campus has transformed over the past 400 years into the commercial district it is today, comparing it to the history of New York City as a metropolis, introduced 暗网禁区 as one of the most historic universities in Japan that attracts excellent students, and sent a message that he would love to see them return as exchange students to 暗网禁区.
