Since the launch of the Shin-Issei affinity group, collaboration with Shinagawa Joshi Gakuin (Shinajo) has been one of the group\u2019s signature programs, as highlighted during Members\u2019 Day at the 2022 Annual Conference in Tokyo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the Steering Committee conducted \u201cmentoring sessions\u201d for students who participated in the school-sponsored study abroad program. The primary intent behind the sessions, as proposed by Shinajo teachers, is to allow students who have studied abroad to reflect and build on their experience by providing opportunities to discuss with the \u201cadults who can best relate.\u201d Shinajo teachers, including Principal Kamitani, felt that Shin-Issei Program leaders were best suited to this role not only because they have shared experience but could also answer questions about possibly living abroad in the future. In fact, teachers found it difficult to find any other adults who could meet these needs and were extremely thankful for the continued relationship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of eleven grade 11 students signed up voluntarily and most of the 14 sessions scheduled have been completed as of mid-August. Per design, sessions were completely free form, meaning topics discussed varied significantly depending on individual student\u2019s interests. Some sessions focused around specific questions students prepared beforehand, while other sessions started with \u201ccasual chats\u201d which turned into more focused discussions. As all the students participating seemed to genuinely enjoy the sessions, the Steering Committee looks to expand the program to allow other interested Shin-Issei USJC members to join as mentors from next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
