Four students from Kongju National University, Pusan, Korea are now visiting UoA and doing their research under the guidance of Dr. Paik (assistant professor of UoA) for a month from July 2 to August 2.

On July 12, the students joined a welcome party and farewell party which Shiokawa International Friendship Association held for their members, and received a warm welcome. By courtesy of Shiokawa International Friendship Association , the students are going to stay with local families ( members of Shiokawa Intenational Friendship Association ) on July 29 and 30, and enjoy the fireworks at The River Festival in Shiokawa- town on July 30.
