Keio University Shonan Fujisawa Campus (SFC) held an Online GIGA Freshmen Session on Tuesday, September 21st for new GIGA students of the Faculty of Policy Management and Faculty of Environment and Information Studies. We used two different types of web-conferencing software; Gather.Town and Zoom. New students enjoyed exploring the virtual SFC using Gather.Town and joined some workshops via Zoom. It gave them a good opportunity to learn about SFC and to meet the professors, senior students, and their classmates.
