    <div><strong>Don't Miss This Exciting Opportunity<br>Connect us with your friends and students!</strong></div>
    <div><span><strong> <br></strong></span>
    <div>Due
     to both the level of interest in the 70th Japan-America Student 
    Conference (JASC) and the Executive Committee's desire to assemble a 
    highly qualified and diverse delegation, JASC has decided to <span><strong>extend the application deadline for the 70th JASC to <span><span>March 18, 2018</span></span>, with applications being accepted on a rolling basis.</strong></span><br></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>By extending the deadline, we hope to both accommodate applicants who need more time to consider JASC and accept new candidates.<br><br><div>
    <div><strong>About the 70th Japan America Student Conference</strong></div>
    <div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The 70th JASC will take place from <span><span>August 3-27th, 2018</span></span>
     in four cities throughout the United States: Madison, WI; Lexington, 
    VA; Washington D.C.; and Portland, OR. Students from all fields of study
     are welcome to apply. No background in Japanese language or Asian 
    Studies is required.<br></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Initiated
     in 1934, the history of JASC spans more than 80 years. Throughout these
     decades, many delegates who graduated from the program secured 
    distinguished places in politics and business. Among these include 
    former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Japanese Prime Minister 
    Kiichi Miyazawa, and President of the Nissan Corporation Yutaka 
    Katayama.<br></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div>Students who join this year's group of 72 competitively-selected delegates from Japan and the U.S. will:<br></div>
    <ul><li>
    <div>delve into a variety of critical topics such as technology, religion, and mental health;</div>
    </li><li>
    <div>hear directly from established leaders and attend a plethora of educational field trips across the U.S., and</div>
    </li><li>
    <div>build professional networks through networking receptions and forge lifelong friendships across the Pacific.</div>
