(MURFREESBORO) – The Japan-U.S. Program of MTSU will host a reception to welcome new Japanese students, their friends and all students enrolled in Japan-related courses from 5-6:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 1 in the SunTrust Room of the Business Aerospace Building.
A follow-up party, or niji-kai, will be hosted by Dr. Kiyoshi Kawahito, program director, at his home, 202 Eventide Drive in Murfreesboro, at 7 p.m. that evening. Kawahito says the second party has become very popular and has attracted 70 to 80 persons in recent years.
The target guests for the evening’s festivities are exchange students “from partner institutions in Japan, Korea and the Philippines, new independent students from Japan, new non-Japanese students taking Japan-focused courses (e.g. Japanese language),” Kawahito says. “But it appears that many returning Japanese students take this as a ‘welcome back party’ for them and as a great occasion to eat good foods—as much as they want. During the second party, I keep cooking, cooking and cooking.”
All interested parties are invited. Dress is casual. Any contribution of snacks for the niji-kai will be appreciated.
For further information, especially about directions and parking, call the Japan-U.S. Program at 615-898-2229 or send an e-mail to japan@mtsu.edu.
