On March 6, 2024, a delegation of eight students from the Colleges of Information Science and Engineering Sciences at our university, accompanied by Director SAKURAI Takeaki of the Office of Global Initiatives and three staff members from Global Commons, had the honor of visiting Mayor Michel Labardin at Gradignan City Hall, France. Following an insightful introduction to Gradignan and its environmental initiatives by Mayor Labardin, fruitful discussions ensued.
The delegation was joined by faculty members from IUT de Bordeaux (Serge Bouter, Sophie Cartier, Bruno Mery, and Thierry Villard). These students are currently participating in the month-long Overseas Internship Program at IUT de Bordeaux, one of our university’s CiC partners.
During their stay, the students are residing in local student dormitories and engaging in internships at IUT de Bordeaux. The courtesy visit to Mayor Labardin provided them with a valuable opportunity for exchange and engagement.
