On 16th March, the Hamamatsu University School of Medicine Diploma Awarding Ceremony was held at the Act City Hall to celebrate the graduation of 236 undergraduate and graduate students in total. Due to persisting COVID-19 concerns, the event was held on a reduced scale, with attendees limited to: graduating students, plus one family member per student, alongside a minimal number of administrative officers.
Before the opening ceremony, the HUSM student orchestra performed "Alla Hornpipe" from Handel's "Water Music", which created a solemn atmosphere throughout the hall.
