On the 20th and 21st of August, American University and Ritsumeikan University jointly organized a guidance session for the fourteen Sakura Scholars of the first AU Home cohort on the campus of American University, Washington D.C.
Prof. Hiroaki Ataka, Associate Dean of the College of International Relations joined the session on behalf of Ritsumeikan University's JDP faculty members.
He briefed on life in Japan and Kyoto, as well as academic plans at Ritsumeikan. The participating Sakura Scholars keenly listened to Prof. Ataka and asked various questions.
