IES Tokyo Shinbun Vol.88

一般社団法人 IES Tokyo Shinbun IES Abroad全米大学連盟 2018 6. 27 8olume 88 IES Abroad Tokyo encourages its students to get involved to the cam- pus activities for so many reasons. Previous students who got deeply involved to the community keep coming back for their career or even just to visit their friends for vacation. For this semester, Zach from Min- nesota University is definitely one of those who make most of it! One great way to meet people, or to just have something to do with all your free time, is to join a club! There are tons of different clubs at Kanda, ranging from music clubs, to volunteer work, language learning groups, and various sports circles and clubs. For those who don’t know, cir- cles are generally more casual while clubs are intended for those who are committed Zach’s story continues to the last page of the newsletter. 最終ページに続く。 In this issue: Club Activity by Zachary Keo, University of Minnesota Rainbow Pride by Marlow Freeman, Tufts University Okinawa Field trip by Basil Chalabi, Occidental College to weekly meetings and practices, and therefore are more competitive. These definitions are not concrete however, with some clubs being more casual than oth- ers. Usually this is the case if that sport only has one group. Its best to look into the various groups yourself and find what fits you. For me, this process started dur- ing the first week of school when I attend- ed a tabling event that’s aimed to help international students find a student group for them. You are given a catalog which features many of the student groups on campus, each page full of pic- tures and a short summary of what to expect from that particular group. Most of the descriptions are written in Japanese, but KUIS students tabling can translate for you. If you find a club that you like, they will even put you in contact with the group so that you can attend their first meetings. Although getting a response was a bit slow, I was able to gain a bigger picture of the student group scene here at Kanda University. Interestingly, the one club that I attend weekly was not included in the catalog. One day, a couple friends and I were invited to go to an Ultimate Frisbee club meeting. At first, we were a bit shy, but the club president and many others quickly came up to us and started intro- ducing themselves. They were so nice and easy to talk to and we became comforta- ble right away! Those people have be- come our friends and I would say making the decision to go out and join a club was one of the best I’ve made here at Kanda. ~ Zachary Keo, University of Minnesota (訳)人との出会い、もしくは自由時間の 使い方にとても有効な方法は、クラブに参 加することです!神田外語大学には、音
