On December 21, Consul General Richard Mei, Public Affairs Officer
Alicia Edwards and another representative from the U.S. Consulate
General Osaka-Kobe visited Okayama University and paid a courtesy call
on President MAKINO Hirofumi. Also present were Senior Vice President
for Global Engagement Strategy YOKOI Atsufumi and Vice President for
International Affairs SUZUKI Takayoshi, as well as Fulbright research
grant winner David ANDERSON
(Mr. Anderson was also a participant in the first U.S. Department of
State Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) Program hosted by Okayama
University in 2019).
During the meeting, President Makino spoke about the CLS Program, academic exchange with the University of Michigan, and his experience participating in a side-event of the High-level Political Forum (HLPF)
for Sustainable Development for 2030. Mr. Anderson had the opportunity
to talk about how his experiences as a CLS Program participant and as a
Fulbright research grant winner have contributed to his dream of
becoming a diplomat. In response, Consul General Mei commented that he
has been involved in academic exchange between America and Japan for a
long time and that he hopes to continue to support exchange programs
between American and Japanese students like CLS once the global
situation improves.
We expect that this visit will be the catalyst for further exchange in the near future.
