ICC Student Staff Leaders (SSL) are a driving force behind the ICC’s events and activities.
By making use of Student Staff Leaders’ own viewpoints, ideas and unique skills, diverse opportunities for cross-cultural exchange that meet the needs of current students can be effectively provided. The ICC strives to assist Student Staff Leaders to develop into leaders capable of functioning in an increasingly global society.
Student Staff Leaders not only actively plan and manage events and recruit event supporters, but also promote the ICC’s activities by conducting presentations for local and international guests of the university, support the everyday operation of the center through office work and responding to inquiries, and other various tasks. In many ways, SSL are an indispensable feature of the ICC.
Becoming a Student Staff Leader is more than just an ordinary part-time job. Similar to an internship, SSL are expected to take part in a wide range of duties and as a result gain valuable skills and experiences that will no doubt be of use in future positions after graduation. Why not take the challenge, and help the ICC to fulfill its mission?

The ICC organizes a variety of events and activities to facilitate cross-cultural exchange and understanding. Specific cultures are introduced through our Country Festivals and various topics of interest are discussed during our Themed Cafes and Language Lunchs. If you’re looking for a language exchange partner, then our popular Language and Cultural Exchange Program (held once every term) will match you with another student, faculty or staff member that is interested in learning your language and culture, and visa versa. We hold dance and music nights where you can watch performances from various student groups and non-university related organizations, as well as organize Field Trips around Japan that range in length from one day trips to three or four days, for both international and local students. To find out more, check out the Event Categories.
The ICC recruits new Student Staff Leaders on an irregular basis, and all Waseda students are welcome to apply. We also recruit volunteer Event Supporters to help with the planning and running of select events and activities. Information regarding Event Supporter recruitment is posted on our website, and also via our mailing list.

Student Staff Leaders (SSL) are paid part-time staff members. SSL support the ICC’s daily operation through various office work, event planning and promotion and also organizing Event Supporters, among other duties. Event Supporters on the other hand, help out on a volunteer basis and can be involved in proposing, preparing and coordinating events. The level of commitment is up to the individual, and being an Event Supporter is a great way to make new friends and get involved in our events on a different level. You can apply as many times as you like depending on your interest and personal schedule. We recruit Event Supporters via our website and mailing list. For more detailed information, check out the Get Involved page.
The ICC’s events and programs are usually attended by a mixed crowd of local and international students. Most local students who come are eager to learn about different cultures and to make friends with their international counterparts.
Some events are open to public, and others are not. Please refer to the “eligibility” of each event.
The CIE carries out administrative procedures, and provides information and services for international students. They also oversee local students’ study abroad programs. The ICC provides cross-cultural events and programs for both international and local students. The CIE and the ICC sometimes collaborate for joint events.
Please do not hesitate to contact our staff to discuss your ideas. We look forward to hearing from you!
