1. SANCHEZ PINEDA Pablo Alfredo, M1 Student
- Position: SO president
-Hola, mucho gusto- I am Alfredo, current president of e3 SO, and doing my first year of masters at the Materials Science and Engineering division.
Doing a master is already a challenge, then doing it in a foreign country as Japan becomes a bigger challenge. So, I feel that creating a community is something important, to do that I enter this student organization. I would like that, even far from home, all the e3 students to have a community they can be part of.
Never think that you, as part of this program are alone, we are all sailing this journey together and hope to create a space, events, and friendships that can show this. As everyone is different, and these differences are what enrich our program.
Have a nice academic year if you are reading this and prospects don’t doubt to apply to this program in Hokkaido, Japan.
2. DUHA ALI FALAH AL-MALLAHI, D2 Student
- Position:Vice President for Academic Affairs
Ahlan wa sahlan! أهلاً وسهلاً
I am Duha Al-Mallahi from Jordan, a PhD student in the laboratory of Biomechanical Design. I have been living in Hokkaido for 3 years, and it has become a very special place for me. The moment I arrived, everything felt new and very different from what I was used to. Little by little, I began to discover how unique Hokkaido is. Here, every season brings something special, from beautiful snowy winters to green summers and colourful autumns. This place gave me new experiences and memories, and slowly it began to feel like home. One of the things that made this transition much easier for me was the E3 community. Meeting people who were willing to help and share their experiences made the new environment feel less overwhelming and much more welcoming.
One of the best things about E3 is how it brings together people from different parts of the world. Living in a new environment and meeting people from different backgrounds has reminded me how valuable diversity can be. I believe that being different is a strength. When we learn from each other and share our perspectives, we all grow. This is something I hope we can continue building together in the E3 community, a place where people feel comfortable, supported, and excited to connect!
As the Vice President of Academic Affairs, I’m excited to give back and help new students settle in, just as others once helped me.
