BC seniors selected to work in Japan

Congratulations to Kafilat Obasala, Eileen Kao, Rachel Griffith, Alec Frazer, and Cedric Charles on having been offered positions in Japan through the JET Program starting this fall. Eileen, Rachel, and Asian Studies minors Kafilat and Alec will be Assistant Language Teachers (ALT); Cedric, also an Asian Studies minor, will be a Coordinator for International Relations (CIR), which requires a high level of Japanese language competency. "From the JET information session at the beginning of the Fall semester to advising me on my personal statement, I felt assured in the support system the Asian Studies faculty have provided for students," says Kafilat.
