Comment from Assistant Professor Nora Sharkasi, an Aid Volunteer:
“I really enjoyed it! It wasn’t only for the beauty of the crowed approaching the aid station and snatching the little cups of water from our hands,or recognizing IUJ runners
among the crowd and cheering hard for everyone, or appreciating the creative costumes and smiles of the runners despite tiredness, it was really the joy of being able to help
and aid them in any way possible. I learned how to cheer in Japanese from the Japanese volunteers and we worked amazingly well together.
Who knows, next year I might be one of the runner for IUJ! The experience is quite inspiring– I am already thinking of a cool costume for that.

Presentations by International students who study the Japanese
Presentations by International students who study the Japanese language were held on May 27th at IUJ’s MLIC hall.
Many International students take Japanese language classes as one of their electives. The Japanese Language program hosts an annual event to allow them to display their growing language skills to local Japanese residents.
Many local people came and heard presentations in Japanese by International IUJ students and presentations in English by local junior high school students. Afterwards, a party was held and all the
participants enjoyed it very much.
This annual event has been held every year since 1993, it’s become the 24th event where our IUJ students show their language skills and enjoy communicating both in some Japanese and English with local residents around the campus.
