About The Japanese Student Association,The University of Chicago

Established On : 2011

The Japanese Student Association (JSA) was founded in the Autumn of 2010 and quickly became a Recognized Student Organization at the University of Chicago in Winter 2011.

The founders desired to create an outlet for the Japanese community on campus and friends to openly discuss topics of Japanese lifestyle and current events, and to give university students, unfamiliar with Japanese culture, the opportunity to experience it. The JSA is now expanding to be a line of support for incoming Japanese undergraduate students, Japanese high school students interested in attending university in the US, and short-term Japanese students of upper-level studies.
