Student Ambassadors, the Passing of the Torch
JICUF’s Student Ambassadors, working under the guidance of Hideko Matsuyama, Program Manager of the JICUF Japan Office, play an active role in sharing information about JICUF’s programs, supporting events and projects, and contributing student-driven ideas that strengthen the ICU community.
During the 2025 academic year, they planned and organized a range of initiatives, including International Day at the ICU Festival, Sports Night, and Cook & Connect. The five Student Ambassadors for 2025–26 will complete their terms in March, and four new ambassadors will begin in April.
We extend our sincere appreciation to the 2025–26 Student Ambassadors for their dedication and contributions.
