　On November 10, 2026, five representatives from Hong Kong visited our Saga Campus: Dr. Wu, Director of Education Services; Ms. Lau, Deputy Principal; and Ms. Ku, Head of the Department of Beauty and Hair Care Training at Caritas Institute of Community Education (CICE); as well as Mr. Leung, Director, and Ms. Leung, Principal, from Shin Japanese Learning Center, with which our university collaborates in international student recruitment.

 The purpose of the visit was to explore opportunities for future educational collaboration, particularly for students considering further study in the field of social care and welfare at our university.

 The delegation first visited “Day Service Kirameki,” a care facility where a student from Hong Kong who graduated from our Social Care and Welfare Course last year is currently working. They then toured our campus and observed a practical cooking class attended by two Hong Kong students enrolled in the Food and Health Course, as well as practical training in the Social Care and Welfare Course.

 Following the campus tour, the delegation exchanged views with Department Chair Hirata, Social Care and Welfare Course Head Baba, and Associate Professor Yoshimura. They discussed the university’s educational programs, the acceptance and support of international students, and their career paths after graduation, particularly in the field of social care and welfare. The meeting provided a valuable opportunity to deepen mutual understanding and explore future collaboration.

 We hope that this visit will lead to further development of student exchange and educational collaboration between our institutions.
