Exploring Japanese
Every Friday Sept. 14-Dec. 14th – The Japanese Language Program hosted a Japanese-English lunch exchange with CELOP students every week in the GSU. This lunch hour was open to all students and offered students of both native languages the opportunity to practice their language skills with other students by conversing freely with one another. The October 5th CELOP lunch included an info session with a representative from the Consulate General of Japan in Boston, where she discussed the JET Program, (Japan Exchange Teaching Program). The total number of attendees over the course of 13 weeks surpassed 300 students!

October 26 – Haunted School! The Japanese Student Association (JSA) hosted an event that was as equally haunted as it was entertaining and educational. Students had to navigate their way through a haunted school, complete necessary tasks and make it out without any troubles. This event was highly successful and students of all language levels enjoyed the experiences.
November 30 – The Japanese Student Association hosted yet another majorly successful event: the Japanese Sushi Formal.
