The University of Findlay - UF Faculty to Discuss Kake Bridge Program and Japan

The University of Findlay’s Faculty Roundtable will meet at 3:15 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 18, in Room 100 of Lovett Residence Hall, located on the corner of Frazer and North Cory street. Participants in the roundtable will discuss UF’s Kake Bridge Program and contemporary Japan. This discussion is free and open to the general public.

For three weeks each summer, students and faculty from The University travel to Japan as guests of the Kake and Takahashi educational institutions. The students experience tea ceremonies, cultural dances, taiko drum performances and local festivals. Tours of various shrines, temples, castles and other historical sites are given to the group at each major city.

The exchange started in 2003. UF returns the favor of the Japanese institutions with the Kake Ambassador Program, when Japanese representatives visit Findlay. The exchange is designed to give participants cultural and educational experiences.
