Renewal of MOU with Peking University School of Stomatology

On October 30, 2024, a delegation from Peking University School of Stomatology led by their Dean, Professor Deng Xuliang, visited Showa University to renew the exchange agreement with our School of Dentistry. This new MOU extends the original agreement that was established in 2017. 
 
After brief introductions of each delegations and their respective universities, Dean Deng and Dr. Kazuyoshi Baba, Dean of Showa University School of Dentistry, signed two copies of the new exchange agreement. Next, the International Exchange Center gave the Peking University delegation a tour of the housing facilities for international guests and provided additional information about our exchange programs for undergraduate and post-graduate students. Finally, Dr. Yo Shibata, Dr. Hirotaka Kuwata, and Dr. Zhou Jun gave the delegation a tour of the clinical departments and facilities at Showa University Dental Hospital.
