End of Fall Semester

12/13/2016

Today was the last day of fall semester. Before the ending ceremony, AKP alum and Doshisha-Amherst Fellow Omar Pineda gave a presentation.

At the ending ceremony, there was an award given to students who did well in the Nihongo Challenge.



The title of Pineda-san’s presentation was, “From Bronx to Amherst, to the world.”

His message to current AKPers: “Do what you want, and do it now!”

Next, we had a ceremony for students who did well in the Nihongo Challenge.

First, the students who won 100 stars or more received recognition: Orozco-san, Nagy-san, Feord-san, Chu-san, and Luo-san.

From the right: Chu-san, Orozco-san, Feord-san, Nagy-san, and Symchych-san, who accepted Luo-san’s award in his place.

Next, we gave recognition to our two top performers! In 2nd place with 136 stars, Chao-san. In 1st place with 167 stars, Anderson-san.

Anderson-san received a medal from Director Hubbard. “Congratulations!”

Fall students, have a safe trip home! Full year students, let’s do our best next year!
