Cornell in Japan

Taking its mission “around the world,” Cornell found itself in Japan recently visiting alumni at events in Kyoto and Tokyo in recognition of the Cornell College of Iowa Japan Association's 30th Anniversary. There and at visits to two partner universities, Aoyama Gaukin University in Tokyo and Kyoto Seika in Kyoto, President Garner and Vice President of Alumni and College Advancement Peter Wilch brought a message of the importance global perspective and global citizenship and the role a Cornell education plays in ensuring access to those opportunities.

The goal of the trip was to expand relationships with the two universities, allowing for an even richer set of offerings for Cornell students in Japan and an increased number of students participating in exchange programs from all institutions involved. From Iowa to Japan and back again, Cornell is truly expanding the possible universe for its students.
