How did you hear about your internship?

My Japanese professor, Dr. Nishio told me about the opportunity during the summer. She thought I was a good candidate for the internship, and I applied for it.

What has been the most valuable (or favorite) part of the experience?

I enjoy teaching the kids and also learning from them. I am helping elementary school students learn Japanese, but I also learn from the international students who are learning English. I love the energy of the students and how they make teaching a fun experience.

How will this help you in the future?

In the future I want to work as a Public Diplomacy Officer, and I am sure my experience sharing languages and cultures with the students will be helpful. During my internship I get more exposure with Japanese language, so I keep improving my communication

Our Commitment To Our Students, Faculty, And Staff

At the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and uphold the cherished right of every American to freely express themselves. It is a hallmark of our history, our tradition, and permeates our culture. As a distinguished Senior Military College, with a legacy spanning over 150 years, we take great pride in our role of cultivating leaders who tirelessly defend these fundamental freedoms for all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is second to none.

As campus leaders, our primary responsibility is to cultivate an academic environment that ensures this exchange of ideas and the safety of our community. Across all five campuses, we are committed to fostering a welcoming atmosphere where individuals feel empowered to freely express themselves and engage in exploration and learning. However, it is essential that these rights are exercised in a manner that upholds our academic mission, preserves the safety of all, and is in accordance with our institutional policies, without unlawful behavior. This means breaking the law, harassment, intimidation, trespassing, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated at the University of North Georgia.

Together, let's uphold the principles of respect, understanding, and civility as we equip our students to walk toward their purpose.

Bold Forward!
