Getting settled in Sendai

 Welcome to Tohoku University!

On September 20th, new FGL students arrived from eight countries and began a new life in Sendai City. For the majority of them, it is their first time to come to Japan, let alone living here!
But they have no time to be wondering about residence registration, application for National Health Insurance, opening bank accounts and so on. School will start on October 1st, so there is not much time left for preparation.

Notice on “Introductory Seminar Presentation” by FGL students

Madoka Hazemi
On next Friday (9.27), three of our students will participate in an event where they will report the results of their studies. This “Introductory Seminar Presentation” (「基礎ゼミ発表会」) was created to give students opportunities to interact with each other beyond their own departments. The presenters from the FGL Program will be Madoka Hazemi of AMC, and Dewi Setyaningrum and Freeha Khalid of AMB. They prepared for it during summer vacation.
They will discuss what they learned through “Selected topics in cell biology” by Dr. Martin Robert. The title of the presentation by Madoka and Dewi is “Effect Colchicine in Cell Development”, while Freeha’s presentation is “Life in an Eye of Science.” In addition to oral presentations by the three of them, Madoka and Dewi will do a poster session too.
"I hope I can gain new experience through this event," Dewi says.

Anyone can attend this event and listen to the presentations, and top performers will be decided by the attendees’ vote. So please come!!
