Despite the popularity of the Japan Project Center and the interest in the Japanese Culture Club, information about off-campus Japanese cultural opportunities were not easily accessible for the WPI community. This website was developed by an IQP team with the goal of increasing the exposure of those readily available Japanese cultural opportunities to the WPI community.
Meet the Team
Meet the team! Each teammate has had a crucial role in the implementation and delivery of Japan @ WPI. While each teammate has worked extensively on finding and posting content across a wide range of Japanese event and opportunity categories, each teammate has expressed passion and specialization in creating specific web content for Japan @ WPI. We hope that you use and enjoy the platform that we built to explore endless possibilities in Japanese activities on and off campus!
