A festive mood descended on Hiyoshi Campus over the orientation period, as the university’s many student organizations held performances to showcase their skills and jockeyed to recruit new members. Even some April rain showers in the morning could not put a damper on the day’s events. When the rain cleared in the afternoon, the courtyard once again brimmed with the excitement of the freshman class and the enthusiasm of the upperclassmen who extended an energetic welcome to campus life.
