Dear Friends and Colleagues,
On behalf of Stanford University and the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies,
I am pleased to report an exciting transition for the Stanford Japan Center-Research (SJC-R).
After 17 active years at the Okazaki site, the Center will be moving operations, along with Stanford Center for Technology and Innovation, to a new home within Doshisha University. There, the program will be integrated into Doshisha's dynamic university setting, and Stanford and Japanese students will have the opportunity to engage with one another in a collaborative atmosphere of scholarship and research.
Let me also take this opportunity to acknowledge the extraordinary effort and contributions of Director Toshihiko Hayashi, who is moving on to an exciting new academic position. Professor Hayashi has served the Center over the past several years with distinction, and we wish him all the very best in his future endeavors. I would also like to recognize the leadership of Executive Director Ichiya Nakamura and the dedication of the wonderful staff at SJC-R
We look forward to reconnecting with our friends and colleagues over the next academic year, once we settle into our new surroundings.Until that time, we appreciate your interest in and support of our work.
Best regards,
Chip Blacker
Director, Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies
