For this year’s ITASIA Homecoming Day event, the ITASIA Program welcomed back two of our graduates from the Master’s program. Instead of focusing on the process of finding a job and working for a Japanese company, this year’s event was about choosing different or alternate paths in life. Both of our featured alumni are currently living in Japan and shared their experiences pursuing personal projects in their lives and work in Japan. Before the presentations by our two distinguished alumni, we held a lively reception attended by many new and old faces. It was great to see so many alumni turn out for the event.
