2025 Japanese Culture and Language Presentations
The Haenicke Institute for Global Education announces the 2025 Japanese Culture and Language Presentations. The event, which features student research, will be held on Jan. 16 from 4:15-6 p.m. at Kalamazoo College’s Dewing Hall, Room 103.
WMU's Soga Japan Center and Kalamazoo College are partnering to offer this event in-person for the first time.
“The main purpose is to let students learn about Japanese language and culture while having fun out of classroom," says Michiko Yoshimoto, Japan program manager at The Haenicke Institute.
“Participants can learn which aspects of Japanese culture university students like or are interested in. It's an opportunity to make new discoveries and connections through Japanese language and culture.”
This year’s speakers include:
WMU Student Nicole Harms on horror
K College Student Tyler Houle on language and J-Pop culture
WMU Student Dylan Lim on history
K College Student Noah Chukwuma on integrated healthy practices
WMU Student Lataevaya Severe on theater
K College Student Aiden Habboub on hidden experiences
K College Student Aiden Morgan on art and disability
Each presentation is expected to run for about 8-minutes with a 4-minute question and answer session. Seats are limited and registration is required.
