Dr. Michelle Damian, Japanese Studies Program Coordinator, kicked off the end-of-year celebration for the Japanese Studies Program by thanking members of the Japanese Studies Advisory Council, ALLEX Teaching Fellow Miina Marutani, and announcing a very long list of student achievements. We could not be prouder of the Japanese language students for their hard work, kind heart, and warhawk spirit! A special thank you goes to Dr. Larry Neuman, Professor Emeritus, for his kind sponsorship of this celebration and all he does to support the Japanese Studies Program at UWW. 誠に有難うございました！

Warhawks make their dreams come true! Last semester, Andrew Kranzusch gave a Japanese presentation on world-renowned marimbist Keiko Abe (安倍圭子先生）during his Japanese 202 class. This semester, while studying abroad at Kansai Gaidai University, he traveled to Fukui Prefecture to watch his musical inspiration perform live. Abe Sensei graciously made time to chat with Andrew leaving him a bit starstruck. He said it was one of the greatest experiences of his life. 夢が叶って本当に良かったですね。安倍先生、アンドリューさんと親身にお話いただき、心より感謝申し上げます。🩷
