Alumni also came to celebrate the graduates. When the graduates enrolled the GLP-GEfIL program, it was not sure whether they could go to the GEfIL Abroad program which is the core of the GEfIL program due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, some of the students were finally able to participate the second Abroad Program in person. The ceremony was a good opportunity for graduating students to enjoy getting together in person with their classmates for the first time in a while. 

Congratulations to the 55 new graduates!
