By Laura Huhn, from The East Carolinian - We often get so caught up in our own culture that we forget the global community outside of the periphery that is just brimming with culture.

On Wednesday, April 4, ECU students and faculty will have an opportunity to learn about one of the most advanced cultures in the world, when the Japan Center East hosts the seminar entitled “Work in Japan,” which will be followed by a performance of the traditional Japanese dance, Bon Odori. This evening-long event will give the ECU community the ability to experience the traditions of a relatively unknown culture.

“Work in Japan,” which will be held from 3:30 - 5 p.m. on the second floor of the Murphy Center, will provide information on both work opportunities in Japan and with Japanese companies in eastern North Carolina. The seminar will be followed by a light Japanese meal for all who attend.

The event will feature Scott Ralls, the president of Craven Community College, who spent several years in Japan following his graduation, and who has been instrumental in bringing Japanese companies into the professional landscape of eastern North Carolina.

So we are starting to preview shows, anime and live action, for next year and we invite everyone to come and watch. We will be voting on the shows in the beginning to middle of April. The shows with the most votes will show next year so vote carefully and know what your voting for.

Also, we will be having a meeting at 2pm on Sunday March 4 in the Mendenhall TV Room to discuss what movies we’ll be watching for the following meeting. Anyone is invited to come.

Thank you.

Speaker, Jennifer
