On Saturday, November 22, APU hosted a special Homecoming Event on campus as part of its 25th anniversary celebrations. The event brought together more than 200 participants, including alumni from every generation, local community members who have long supported APU, current students, faculty, and staff, to commemorate this milestone year.

The day began with a vibrant welcome performance by several student groups. During the talk sessions that followed, faculty members took the stage to share stories of learning and campus life at APU, allowing the participants to relive their memories together.

In the latter half of the event, the venue moved to the cafeteria, where a variety of activities were arranged for participants of all ages. The attendees reconnected and deepened their bonds across generations in a warm and lively atmosphere.

The event concluded with a grand alumni gathering, where alumni who run restaurants in Beppu set up booths and generously served food and drinks. This Homecoming Event served to once again recognize the achievements of our alumni and the strong, enduring connections that exist within the APU community.

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who joined us from around the world as well as to everyone who supported the organization of the event. Thank you very much.

APU will continue to foster a community where alumni, local residents, and current students remain connected and grow together.
