The JACAC Student Forum, Winter 2021

The Japan Canada Academic Consortium Student Forum (JACAC 2021) is going online! Join with senior undergraduate student representatives from member institutions in both Japan and Canada to exchange opinions and ideas about a current topic of common interest.

JACAC 2021 is scheduled for the February reading week (Sunday, February 14, 2021 — Friday, February 19, 2021). This opportunity is FREE and since all activities will be conducted in English, no prior knowledge of the Japanese language is necessary.

There is a prize for the first place team, with all team members receiving a $100 gift card. As well, all participating students receive program certificates. Please note the JACAC program certificate is not eligible for transfer credit.

Get an A+ in Exchange

Exams, course registration, and libraries may not be the first things that come to mind when you think about exchange (though we hope they are!) but studying abroad is kind of in the name. IPO staff know that research into academic offerings and environments at partner universities can be hard to tackle or is overlooked, yet finding an academic match is essential to success on program. In this session IPO staff and program alum will talk about the various academic considerations should make when planning for exchange.

We are holding this session twice.

This is Session One.

October 14, 2020. 2:00 PM - 2:30 PM (EST)
