Visit to MSU Faculty of Pharmacy
On the morning of the 16th, Prof. Itabe and Prof. Hashimoto visited the Faculty of Pharmacy. Two pharmacy students from MSU who studied at Showa University last year, along with a new student and faculty who will study at our university this year, led our professors on a tour of the classrooms and laboratories in the Faculty of Pharmacy. They also took them to MSU’s museum, where they learned more about the history of MSU’s pharmacy program and the university’s connection to the Thai royal family.
ASEAN and PECT Meeting 2019 and 20th Anniversary Celebration
Prof. Itabe and Prof. Hashimoto also attended “ASEAN and PECT meeting 2019: Education Innovation on Smoking Cessation and NCD”, which commemorated the 20th anniversary of MSU’s Faculty of Pharmacy. Both gave oral presentations at a panel discussion with members from other universities who also have exchange agreements with MSU School of Pharmacy. Finally, a dinner was held at the end of the meeting with many traditional Thai performances. At this event, Prof. Itabe and Prof. Hashimoto were able to reconnect with past MSU pharmacy students, faculty, and alumni who had visited Showa University as exchange students.
