Japanese Festival (April 2009)
Supporter Infomation Sessions
Classes and final exams are finally coming to an end for the term,
and spring vacation is just around the corner!Have you already decided your schedule during spring vacation?
Even though it is quite a long vacation, it will pass in an instant.
Do any of the following things interest you?
♦Making new friends with local and international students
while working together towards a common goal?
♦ Sharing your fresh and exciting ideas for an event at the ICC?
♦ Learning more about Japanese culture?
♦ Becoming a "senpai" (senior) for newly arriving international
students by sharing your knowledge and experience of living in a
foreign country?
If any of these things sound good to you, become an event supporter
by joining us in the planning, organizing, and coordinating of the
ICC's Japanese Festival! The Japanese Festival is an event organized
at the start of every semester to welcome new international students.
Some of you may have attended a Japanese Festival in the past; now
it's your chance to get involved and help organize the events and
activities! As an international student, you must remember how you
felt during your first day at Waseda; we hope you will join us in
making the next Japanese Festival the best ever! If you are interested,
please attend one of the information sessions below:
Info Session (1) Feb. 3rd (tue) 4:30pm
Info Session (2) Feb. 4th (wed) 12:20pm
Info Session (3) Feb. 12th (thu) 2:00pm
* As a general rule, only those who attend an Info Session will be able to
become a supporter.
* The contents of each Info Session are exactly the same.
* The length of the Info Session is around 15-20 minutes.
Place: ICC (1st Fl., Okuma Garden House)

so we look forward to hearing from a wide range of students - both
local and international. Please give us your unique ideas!
