The Phi Beta Delta International Forum sponsored a presentation on March 29 at 7:00 p.m. in the Dicke Forum. Presentations were moderated by Senior Political Science and International Studies major Megan Piersol. The students involved discussed their study, travel, and general learning experiences in Thailand, Israel, and Japan.
Daniella Chambers, an International Studies and Political Science major, discussed her tour to Israel sponsored by the United Jewish Fund.
Ayumi Murabayashi, an International Studies and Spanish major, discussed her study in Thailand.
Jiro Kondo, who is studying Creative Writing at ONU, was an officer of Japanese government who retired 3 years ago from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports , Science and Technology. Jiro talked about the relationship between Parliament and Administration in Parliamentary Cabinet System of Japan through concrete episodes of his thirty's experience. He also compared college study in the US and Japan.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to study abroad is something that is encouraged of students in the HPJ Department as well as the ONU community in general. The lessons learned in these experiences go far beyond the classroom and can set students on a totally un-planned course in life.
