On Saturday, December 7th, Kyoto University of Advanced Science held a sizzling hot KUAS BBQ at our Uzumasa Campus. Students had the chance to make connections across nationalities, cultures, faculties, and academic years while enjoying delicious food.
Starting at 11:00 AM, student volunteers worked set up tables and tents in preparation for the event.
The opening ceremony was held at 1:00 p.m., and in addition to announcements, precautions, etc., the student staff members who would make the event a success were introduced. This was followed by a hearty toast and a moment of joyous celebration for all.
Students worked together to prepare and grill the food. This collaborative effort resulted in new friendships that transcended language barriers.
A variety of food options were on offer, including halal-friendly choices, ensuring that everyone could partake in the feast. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, music, and the aroma of freshly grilled food, making it a memorable day for all.
