62nd Japan-America Student Conference
Join 72 other students from the U.S. and Japan for a month of cultural exchange, travel and fun!
This is a chance for an awesome culture and career filled summer!
Meet leaders and students that will improve your career network in this unique student-led cultural and academic exchange which will host its 62nd annual program next summer. Students will discuss their research on topics of bilateral and global interest and enjoy prominent speakers during the month-long program.
The theme for the Japan-America Student Conference held July 23 - August 21, 2010, will be “To Understand, To Unite, To Act: Continuous Evolution through Integrated Perspectives.” Applications are due February 22, 2010!
Today, Japan and the United States work as partners on issues ranging from trade agreements to education and technology. Over the coming years both Japan and the U.S. will undergo changes in leadership which could significantly impact their policies and interactions worldwide. As this alliance continues to change, JASC will ensure students play an active role as they prepare to become the next generation of leaders.
Since JASC is student-run, participants this summer have the unique opportunity to run for election to the student Executive Committee to run the Conference when it will be held in Japan in 2011!
