Dr. Hilary L. Link, the President of Allegheny College (US) paid a visit to Keio University last week to meet with Vice-President Shinnosuke Obi. Keio and Allegheny have enjoyed a lively exchange since signing a student exchange agreement in 2008, but there is interest from both sides to strengthen ties. Exchange students from Keio or Allegheny are eligible for the Kondoh Scholarship, and for this meeting three members of the Kondoh family were also present, as well as Mr. Doug Smith, the Senior Philanthropic Advisor of Allegheny College. This made for a warm and friendly visit, leaving all sides positive for the future relationship between the two universities.
