On June 10, our ESS circle held a farewell party to Nicky, Alice, and James–our Winchester students. They have played a large role in ESS this year, and were particularly helpful in preparing our students for their speech contests. We wish them all the best, and will miss having them on our campus!
On Saturday, May 30, Seinan’s ESS member, Mami Adachi took 1st place in the 21st Mackenzie Cup Recitation Contest at Baikou Gakuin University in Shimonoseki. Mami, a 1st-year English Department student, performed Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech.

Every year, our English Department takes the 1st and 2nd Year students for a 2-day “English Camp.” This year, we travelled to the Nishi-Nagato Resort Hotel in Yamaguchi Prefecture. These were some of the highlights of our trip:
- A visit to the Shimonoseki “Kaikyoukan” Aquarium
- A Scavenger Hunt activity on the hotel grounds
- Eating a delicious dinner together
- Night-time performances by all classes and faculty
- Morning lectures by Theresa Meyer, Debbie Thompson, and Miho Harada
- Shopping at Kaisenmura Kitanagato
- Visiting the Kaneko Misuzu Memorial Museum
- …and lots of chances to talk, laugh, and generally have fun!
