Fall Class Graduates
HONOLULU — JAIMS bid farewell
to 25 participants in the Intercultural
Management Program (ICMP) 2002 Fall class during the ICMP closing
ceremonies on January 8, 2003.
The guest of honor was Dalton Tanonaka, president
of the Pacific Basin Economic Council, who congratulated the students
and urged them to take up a new mission.
"Your mission now is to make a difference in your
various communities," he said, "You can make a difference through
of public service."
Glenn Miyataki, president of JAIMS, shared his own
words to the class. "This class stands above in teamwork, academic
standing, and community giving," he said, "JAIMS is proud of you
and we are grateful for all of your hard work"
Participants were then presented with certificates
for completing four months of intense studies on U.S. business principles
and cross-cultural sensitivity. Awards were also presented to those
participants who excelled in the final week of presentations.
First place for the President's Business Plan Award
was shared between Nam Linh Nguyen and Michiko Takiya. The first
place winners of the President's Research Awards went to Frederick
Blancas, Kazuharu Okumura, and Michiko Takiya.
The recipient of the Francis A. Wong Award
for Leadership was Frederick Blancas and the Students' Choice Award
was awarded to Takashi Suematsu.
While some ICMP graduates will immediately begin their
careers, others will continue with JAIMS in the Business Exchange
Program (BEP) where they will intern with American business firms
or organizations in the U.S. for two months.
