Discussed also was the JRYC end-of-year party. This will be a dinner between JRYC-R side members and our Japanese friends currently studying at PIASS – Huye and all other Japanese people around. Date is set on the evening of Friday, May 12th, 2018.

On the agenda of the dinner, we will have an opportunity to officially express our gratitude to the outgoing committee, JRYC members who are graduating this summer and students who will be allocated to new campuses next year, for their immense contribution to JRYC activities all this year round. We will also have time to set new aims for next year. We will also have time to connect with our Japanese friends there present.
