On March 13, the Completion Ceremony for the Fall Semester 2025 of the Kansai University Bekka Program was held, and sixty-nine students successfully completed the program. During the ceremony, congratulatory and encouraging remarks were delivered to the graduates by Professor Takeuchi, Vice President, and Executive Trustee Mr. Yabuta.
In the valedictory address, the student representative, Tan Yilin, reflected on the time about two years ago when she was unsure whether to apply to the Kansai University Bekka Program. At that time, she was working as an English teacher at a high school, but she realized that her true passion lay in another field. With the belief of "doing one's best and leaving the rest to fate," she decided to apply to the Bekka Program.
She also referred to Minami-Senri, where the Bekka Program is located, quoting the saying "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." She described the program as the place where she took the important first step toward her future dreams. She spoke about overcoming the ups and downs of her study abroad life with the support of her classmates and expressed her gratitude to the teachers who guided and encouraged her. She also shared her joy at having been accepted into the Graduate School of Letters. Finally, she expressed her hope that the graduates would make use of the knowledge and experiences they gained in the Bekka Program as they pursue their own paths and that they would meet again in the future.
After the ceremony, a farewell reception was held, where the teachers offered warm messages to the graduates. While enjoying light refreshments together, the students shared memories with their friends and teachers. Carrying with them the friendships and memories they built in the Bekka Program, the graduates took a new step forward toward their respective goals.
