On June 25, 2025, a presentation on the educational practices of Student Instructors (SI) in the Language Program for Faculty (LPF) was held in the conference room on the second floor of Dialogue House. JICUF supports this program through its faculty grant. Here is a report by Assistant Professor Sunyoung Chun.
Earlier this month, JICUF Executive Director Paul Hastings was invited by the Institute of International Education to speak at a workshop in Vietnam on the topic of refugee higher education. JICUF’s scholarship program for Syrian students, the Syrian Scholars Initiative, is the only private sponsorship program hosted by a university in Japan and has garnered much interest among the international community. ICU Professor Osamu Arakaki also participated in the workshop.
