JAIMS Welcomes New ICMP Spring 2001 Students

HONOLULU—A welcome reception was held on Monday, April 4th for the newest class of Intercultural Management Program (ICMP) participants. This year's spring 2001 class consists of 29 students hailing from six different countries.

During the orientation, students introduced themselves and met JAIMS staff. Later they were given a tour of the campus.

On Wednesday, students were aided by staff in an exciting scavenger hunt throughout the JAIMS campus in order to become familiarized with student facilities, resources, and staff.

On Friday, special guest speaker Ku'uipo Kumukahi spoke to students on Hawaiian history, culture, and traditions. To help them to blend into local culture, Kumukahi taught the students a few local expressions and how to "shaka".

This latest ICMP class consists of students from Japan, Malaysia, Korea, France, Thailand, and China. They bring with them a diverse mix of work experience from public relations and marketing to systems engineering and telecommunications.
