NipCA Fellows SPJES 2024 Kickoff Meeting was held on Monday, October 7, 2024.
Ten students have enrolled at the Special Program in Japanese and Eurasia Studies (SPJES) this fall as NipCA Fellows. Seven students from three Central Asian countries enrolled in the master’s program and three students in the doctoral program for the first time.
Alongside the NipCA Fellows of the 6th cohort, who arrived in Japan this time, the kick-off meeting was also attended by NipCA Fellows of the 5th cohort, who enrolled in October 2023. Additionally, NipCA Project’s Professor Usuyama, Associate Professor Yamamoto, and NipCA Project staff were in attendance.
The event started with the project director, Professor Toshinobu Usuyama, welcoming the newly arrived fellows and expressed his expectations for their future endeavors. Following this, Associate Professor Yamamoto introduced the NipCA Fellows of the 6th cohort and explained the mission and overview of the NipCa project, talked about things to be aware of while studying abroad, spoke about support available, introduced the staff, and talked about future plans.
We wish the new fellows a rewarding and enriching study abroad experience over the next year and a half.
