Living in Japan right now, and looking to further your education? The International University of Japan is holding an information session in Tokyo on Sunday, October 6th from 2pm until 4pm, to give prospective students insight into what the school has to offer.

IUJ was established in 1982 as the first English-language graduate school in Japan. Currently, 340 students from 60 countries undertake studies at the university, with alumni hailing from a total of 136 countries. It truly lives up to being the university Where the World Gathers.

IUJ is a school that is continually growing – not just by the number of countries that students hail from, but in its international standing. The Graduate School of International Management proudly obtained accreditation from AACSB in February this year, and the University’s PhD program was inaugurated in 2015 with the number of doctoral candidates increasing annually.

This information session is applicable to those interested in applying to IUJ for the 2020 academic year or in the near future. The event will give participants the opportunity to find out more about what the university has to offer, as well as the chance to meet current students and alumni for first hand accounts of their experiences with the school.

IUJ Alumni Networking Forum was held

08/20/2019/in Frontpage Article, IM News, IR News, News /by Public Relations

IUJ held the IUJ Alumni Networking Forum in IUJ Tokyo Office. Over 20 IUJ alumni ranging in graduation years from 1985 to 2018 joined for an evening of continuing education and networking. Our special speaker was IUJ’s own Dr. Mohammed Ahmed, now a specially appointed faculty member specializing in Cross Cultural Communication skills and communication sensitivities.

Alumni and their guests became more aware of how important it is to look beyond a person’s “single story.” To look more deeply at a person than just one impression, and to get to know them not by asking “where are you from?” but “where are you local?” This simple change can help us get to know more of a person’s current cultural situation, and then go back to their earlier years to “where are you from?”. He stressed that not only is this important when interacting with person from a different nationality, but even within your same nationality: As people from Bangladesh and Japan are different, so are people from from Osaka and Tokyo (“Why do they use the opposite side of the escalator from each other?”). To help the participants continue their discovery and understanding of these issues, Dr. Ahmed shared several impressive TedxTalks to view later on. Many in the audience eagerly took photos of the screen to remember to check them out.

After the mini lecture, an interactive networking and information exchange took place until the attendees were finally willing to leave the venue. All agreed that holding such continuing education events 3-4 times a year is beneficial for everyone. The Alumni Relations Office promised to continue organizing them.

Special thanks to Dr. Ahmed, IUJ’s Super Global University office for their partial sponsorship, and the Alumni Executive Council for their support and participation.
