おめでとうございます (Congratulations)
UAIS senior is one of only 32 U.S. students selected for Japanese summer study program

Utica Academy for International Studies senior Samantha Schneider is one of only 32 U.S. high school students selected for a prestigious summer study program in Japan.

Schneider, who plans to pursue Japanese studies at Eastern Michigan University, will spend two and a half weeks in Japan through the 2012 JET Memorial Invitation Program for U.S. High School Students.

"The study of Japanese Culture and Language has always been a passion of mine," Schneider said.

The JET program, sponsored by the Japan Foundation, will allow Schneider to spend more than two weeks in July meeting Japanese students, experiencing Japanese culture, and studying the language. She is the only Michigan student selected for the program.

JET was created in 2011 in memory of the two beloved American teachers of English who lost their lives in the earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011. MORE.
