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.”
