心理・社会福祉学部社会福祉学科で7月15日、「在学生・卒業生交流会」が開催されました。4年ぶりの対面実施となった今回の交流会では、福祉機関や医療機関、行政や民間企業などで働く卒業生41人が参加し、自らの体験を在学生に語りかけました。参加した在学生85人は卒業生から仕事の様子、やりがい、国家試験対策や就職活動の方法など在学期間中の過ごし方を熱心に聞き、積極的に質問。「先輩からの助言で励まされた」「時間が経つのがとても早く感じられ、もっとお話しが聞きたかった」といった声が聞かれました。
その後に行われた卒業生同士によるホームカミングでは、仲間との再会に大いに盛り上がりました。コロナ禍によって卒業式が実施できなかった卒業生もおり、同じ志を持って大学で勉強した仲間やゼミ教員と語り合い、仕事に対する向き合い方を再確認していました。

 

On 15 July, the Department of Social Welfare at the School of Psychology and Social Welfare held an 'Exchange Meeting for Enrolled Students and Graduates', the first face-to-face meeting in four years, at which 41 graduates working in welfare and medical institutions, government and private companies participated and shared their own experiences with the university students.

 

The 85 students who attended the event listened intently to the graduates talk about their work, how rewarding it is, how they prepared for national examinations and job hunting, and how they spent their time during their studies, and actively asked questions. Some said they were encouraged by the advice given by their seniors, and others said they felt the time passed very quickly and wished they could have heard more.

 

At the homecoming ceremony held afterwards, the graduates were very excited to see their friends again. Some graduates were unable to attend the graduation ceremony due to the pandemic, and they talked with their fellow classmates who had studied at the university with the same aspirations, and had a chance to reconfirm their approach to the work they do.
