1. The first bits.
(a) New Admissions Coordinator.
Now we can reveal all. The new Admissions Coordinator is another Brit, Jon Walden, and he is taking over emails from today. I will still be here for the next two weeks to oversee the smooth transition. Of course, the Director of the International Office Declan Murphy will still be here to ensure continuity when I leave, and I will certainly be back in Okazaki every now and then.
Jon has studied at Yamasa on a student visa for the past year, so he knows the Japanese visa system, the courses and the accommodation, as well as the area and all about living here. Please feel free to bother him with lots of questions. That is what he's here for, after all.
As for me, now I don't even have a desk anymore despite the fact that I'll still be around for 2 weeks. The ingratitude of it all. Thank you all for your contributions, for all the emails and I wish you all the best with your Japanese studies. It's been a very short 18 months working here, there have been a lot of very good experiences, and I have made a lot of very good friends here with whom I will definitely keep in touch. See you next time in Okazaki.
(b) Jobs:
Recruitment ongoing for the following positions:
see here for details and other vacancies, and contact careers@yamasa.org if you are interested in applying. Most are connected with web publishing and translation. Study Japanese for free in exchange for part-time work in the International Office. These are ongoing positions - we need people all year round, so please contact us if you are interested in positions later in the year as well.
