Hawaii Tokai :: Blog :: HTIC Welcomes the Freeman Scholars!

May 28, 2009

Hawaii Tokai International College is pleased to welcome to our campus the participants in the Japan Studies Association’s 7th Annual Freeman Seminar on Japan. The twenty participants in the program were selected from colleges and universities throughout the United States. The seminar’s purpose is to provide individuals from different disciplines who are non-Asian studies experts with the opportunity to learn more about Japan. The goal of the program is to assist participants so they may integrate elements of Japanese studies into their courses, broadening their students' development as cross-culturally sensitive global citizens.

Participants participate in an intense program of lectures, field trips, workshops, and activities focused on Japanese history, religion, art, theater, music, politics, economics, and literature.

Also joining the HTIC ohana are four students who have been selected as Kapiolani Community College’s Freeman China Scholars. These students are part of a group of ten students who engage in intensive Chinese language studies at KCC, with the opportunity to study in China as the culmination of their program. This year’s Freeman scholars are the “fifth generation” to join our community.

Welcome to everyone – we hope your stay with us is enjoyable and your studies intellectually stimulating and fruitful.
