国際的なサークルThe APU Times.
「 APU らしさ」。私がそれを一番実感しているのがこのサークル活動での時間である。今回、私の所属している「 The APU Times 」という新聞制作のサークルについて紹介したい。 APU に入って３年目に突入しようとしていた今年の春、ネパール人の友人に「 APU Times に入らない？！」と誘われた。しかし、今年は３回生だから忙しいし、メンバーはほとんど国際学生で、ミーティングはほとんど英語だと思うと、入る気になれなかった。家に帰って自分が２年間 APU でしてきたことは何だろうと振り返った。もしかしてこれはチャンスかもしれない。もっとたくさん国際学生の友達を作るいいキッカケかもしれない！！
