Event Description

Join your fellow Elliott School alumni for a networking reception with Elliott graduate students, who are in town as part of the Kakehashi Project, an annual exchange program sponsored by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The participating students will be meeting with Japanese employers while in Tokyo and look forward to learning from alumni on what it's like to live and work in Japan.  

The Elliott School of International Affairs has been invited for a third year to participate in a short-term exchange program in Japan as part of the country’s KAKEHASHI Project. Seven current graduate students have been selected to participate in this year's program and will be traveling to both Tokyo and Kyoto while abroad. As part of this program, students will attend lectures and discussions with Japanese government officials along with employers in the fields of policy, research, and business. Students will also participate in cultural site visits, events, workshops, and discussions with Japanese nationals, including a homestay with Japanese families in the Shiga Prefecture. For the first time, we are including an alumni reception for these students to give them the opportunity to network with GW Elliott School alumni that are living and working abroad in Japan. We sincerely hope that you will join us at this event and share your experience and recommendations with these students in addition to networking with your fellow alumni in the greater Tokyo area.
