To mark the opening of its Toronto Liaison Office, Kwansei Gakuin University, in collaboration with Victoria University in the University of Toronto, will hold a symposium 'Canadian-Japanese Relations in a Changing World,' on August 20, 2010.
This year also marks the centenary of relations between Kwansei Gakuin and the Canadian Methodist Church, the 30th anniversary of the University’s Canadian Visiting Professorship Programme, and the 10th anniversary of the very successful Sophomore Semester Abroad programme at Mount Allison University.
