Farewell and See You on Instagram!!👋

For many years, we have shared campus life at AIU through this page, and we sincerely thank you all for your engagement and support.🫂

As of January 2026, the Center for International Affairs will no longer be updating this page and will be shifting our social media presence to the official AIU Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/akitainternationaluniversity/). On Instagram, we will be sharing a wider variety of photos and videos to give you a more vivid look at life at AIU. ✨🌈While some posts will be in Japanese, you can easily use the Instagram translation feature to view them in your preferred language.💡

We also plan to increase English-language Stories on the official account, featuring topics such as snapshots of daily life in Akita shared by current study abroad students and updates on where and how our alumni are active today.📸

We would love to stay connected with you on Instagram, so please follow us there for future updates. If you have photos or content you would like us to feature on Instagram, feel free to contact the Center for International Affairs by email at [email protected]. 🙋🏻‍♀️📧

We look forward to connecting with you again on Instagram!🤗

🌈Diversity Week at AIU🌈
From Tuesday, November 25, to Sunday, November 30, AIU held its second ever “Diversity Week.” ✨Diversity Week was launched as a new event last year as part of efforts to embody AIU Core Values, which includes valuing diversity.🫂 AIU has long been known as a diverse campus due to its large population of international students coming from around 50 different countries across the world, 🌎but during this year’s Diversity Week our students explored other facets of diversity, including culture, communication, SOGIE, and disability awareness.💡🗣️🏳️‍🌈♿ Activities included exhibitions on individual expression in art, satirical cartoons, a special exhibition in the AIU library featuring books on diversity, and mirrors set up throughout campus with messages encouraging students to reflect on their unique identities.🌟 In addition, each day of Diversity Week also featured discussions, a movie screening on disability awareness, and a guest lecture on SOGIE identities.
Diversity is one of the things that makes AIU such a special learning environment for both international and domestic students alike, so we hope this week gave students the opportunity to reflect on their place in AIU and the larger community.💐
