おめでとうございます。 Congratulations!
Five CSUMB students have been accepted as participants to the Japan Education and Training (JET) program for Fall 2019. Brandon Johnson, (Business Administration '19), Ashley Osborne, (Communication Design '19) Jonathan Phan, (Japanese Language and Culture '18), Joshua Williams (Computer Science '19), and Emmanuel Yuan, (Communication Design, '19) will be placed by JET across multiple locations in Japan to serve in capacities such as Assistant Language Teacher (ALT), Sports Exchange Advisor (SEA), or Coordinator for International Relations (CIR).
CSUMB graduates have consistently placed with JET for a number of years to interact with local communities to promote internationalization at the local level. Successful applicants from CSUMB have regularly worked directly with Dr. Shigeko Sekine, Chair of World Languages and Cultures to ready their applications and prepare for the in-person interview conducted by the Japanese Council of Local Authorities for International Relations (CLAIR) whose work is aimed at promoting grass-roots international exchange between Japan and other nations. おめでとうございます。 Congratulations to the recipients!
