apilano College students and

faculty continue to be actively
involved with our sister college
Aichi Gakusen in Toyota, Japan.

Three Capilano students who
were the recipients of the 1994/95
Aichi Gakusen Student Scholarship
are currently at Aichi Gakusen
College studying Japanese
language, history and culture. The
students are Nhi Nguyen, who was
born in Vietnam and came to
Canada at age 3; Ai Nagasawa,
who was born in Canada and has
relatives in Japan; and Maya
Wingate, a native of England who
has lived several years in the
Caribbean and came to Vancouver
as a teenager.

The College Japan Exchange
Committee (J.E.C.) has recently
recommended three other students
for the 1995/96 Aichi Gakusen
Student Scholarship. They are
Kara James, Nicole Lawson and
Sarah-Jane Scott. By the time
they depart for Japan in September
1995, they will have completed
Japanese language training to first-
year college level, in addition to
other preparatory requirements.

Three students from Aichi
Gakusen also receive scholarships
to attend Capilano. This year’s
students were featured in the
November 1994 issue of the
Capilano College International
Newsletter.

Congratulations are in order to
Dorinda Neave who was chosen
by the J.E.C. to receive the Aichi
Gakusen Faculty Exchange award.
Dorinda, from the Art History
department, is the third recipient of
the award. Nick Collins (ESL) and
Anne Watson (Business
Administration) were earlier
recipients. Dorinda will spend the
month of May at Aichi

experiencing various aspects of
Japanese art and culture. She hopes
to do research into one of her long-
term interests, contemporary female
performance art. She has been
studying the Japanese language for
more than a year. Capilano faculty
receive $1,000 towards their travel
costs ($500 from International student
fees and $500 from the Faculty
Development Committee). Aichi
Gakusen provides accommodation
during their stay in Japan.

There is a reciprocal faculty
exchange from Aichi; the most recent
awardees have been Professors Nishio
and Yamashita.

The Japan Exchange Committee
has been active since 1982 when the
first contingent of Capilano College
students were chosen to study at
Aichi. The committee members are

Collins (ESL), Barbara Hankin
(Humanities & APMCP), Marlene
