In April 2024, JICUF will be revamping funding opportunities for ICU students and faculty. For students, JICUF will offer three programs: SDG Projects, the Othmer Research Fellowships and the Social Impact Internships. We aspire to cultivate the ideals of global citizenship through the chance to conceptualize and execute projects that resonate with the SDGs.
Ms. Sawa Nakagawa graduated from ICU in 1999. A true cosmopolitan, Ms. Nakagawa has spent much of her life abroad on multiple continents with a career in finance. She now resides in Nairobi, Kenya, and runs her own advisory firm focused on impact investing and social innovation. She graciously shared her story with us.
Ms. Christine Nalubowa obtained her B.A. and M.A. from ICU in the 2010s, and is now based in Uganda. This month, we asked her to share her “ICU story.”
Mr. Atsushi Suzuki, a 2004 graduate, was transferred to New York in September 2014. He has been attending events organized by the Alumni Association NY Chapter, and kindly cooperated with JICUF’s summer program, Global Link New York, in 2017. We asked Atsushi about his time at ICU and how it has impacted his life.
This month’s alumnus is Mr. Keita Ebisu, who graduated from ICU in 2002 (his ID was 2001). Mr. Ebisu currently lives in Northern California and works for the California Environmental Protection Agency.
This month, we asked Ms. Chizuko Muranaka Broinowski (ID 88) to look back at her time at ICU. After graduating from ICU, Chizuko earned two master’s degrees in communication and journalism in the U.K., and worked in journalism for many years. She moved to Lausanne, Switzerland, from New York in 2009, and currently works as a freelance interpreter.
