Dr. Alec Lemay from Bunkyo University in Japan, recently visited Ateneo de Naga University (ADNU) on 6-7 March 2024. The visit was part of the two universities’ ongoing collaboration, known as the “B Project.”

Since 2020, both universities have been working together on the project, and have carried out various virtual activities even during the pandemic. In 2023, they formalized their cooperation through a Memorandum of Understanding.

During his visit, Dr. Lemay paid a courtesy call to the university president, Fr. Robert E.N. Rivera, S.J., and met with both old and new student volunteers. He expressed his gratitude to ADNU and reaffirmed their commitment to continue the joint project. Dr. Lemay also took the opportunity to revisit the mangrove trees that he and Japanese students had planted in Belen, Calabanga as part of their outreach activities four years ago.

Additionally, Dr. Lemay met with Rodolfo SB. Virtus Jr., from the Office of Student Affairs, who had visited Bunkyo University for the B Project International Conference in October 2023. Together, they planned for a combination of online and onsite activities with student organization leaders for the upcoming School Year 2024-2025.
