If you're planning a trip to Japan or if you currently live there, please let us know!

Stay connected through our Facebook group Japan Study Alumni (GLCA/ACM). Join our LinkedIn Group for up-to-date job postings and opportunities. Waseda also has an international alumni network called WiN that Japan Study alumni can join. To receive updates about Japan Study, please send your contact information to japanstu@earlham.edu. Whether you were part of our 1963 group or have just returned home from Waseda, we'd love to hear from you!
