Summer 2017 Issue

The New TUJInitiative with Showa Women’s University
Building to Open in Fall 2019Showa Women’s University (SWU) andTemple University, Japan Campus (TUJ) haveagreed to share a campus at SWU’s current
location in Setagaya-ku, Tokyo. TUJ will moveits entire operation from its current locations in
Minato-ku, Tokyo by September 2019 to aplanned six-story building on SWU’s campus.
The agreement to share a campus is the first of
its kind between Japanese and American
universities and marks an unprecedented stepin the globalization of Japanese institutions ofhigher education.
The initiative will allow SWU students to takecourses and receive credits at an American
university without leaving Japan. TUJ andSWU students are currently participating in a
credit transfer program as part of an initial
Memorandum of Understanding signed in2016. The universities plan to discuss thedevelopment of additional programs including
joint degrees and collaborations in extracurricular student clubs and activities. Joint
workshops and research projects will be also
developed for faculty and staff.
TUJ’s undergraduate enrollment has exceeded
1,000 since 2016; a record amount since its
founding in 1982. The new campus projectwill help alleviate crowding at TUJ’s current
location while allowing for continued
expansion in student numbers.
The initiative is also expected to enhance theacademic offerings of both schools and create aunique dual-school, multi-national campus in
the heart of Tokyo. SWU has been a strong
proponentofinternationalizing
highereducation, particularly since 1988 when it
opened a satellite campus in Boston,
Massachusetts to provide its students with a
U.S. study abroad option. By partnering with
TUJ, Showa Women’s University hopes tofurther advance the globalization of its own
campus and programs.
The student body at TUJ is drawn from over 60
countries. This population will add a depth ofArtist Rendition

diversity to SWU’s campus that is largely
Japanese nationals. Additionally, the presenceof TUJ’s male students at SWU, historically awomen’s college, will add a new dimension toits campus population.
TUJ is the oldest, largest and leading foreign
institution of higher education in Japan. In
2017, the school marks its 35th year ofproviding unique educational, academic andresearch opportunities to students and facultyfrom around the world. With the opening of theoriginal Japan Campus in the early 1980’s,
Temple University was in the vanguard ofglobal education. The new campus project, andthe burgeoning relationship with SWU, places
Temple University and TUJ once again at theforefront of the movement to internationalize
higher education.

Facts and Figures
The New TUJ
Location: 1-7-57 Taishido, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo
Facility: A six-story building including an open
atrium, student cafeteria and art gallery.
TUJ will have a dedicated 9,000 square meters in
the new structure, with a separate entrance andindependent operation.
Completion Date: August 2019 (est.)

Moving Forward
An Update from the Dean
Now, finally, we can announce to the world
TUJ's plans to have a new building on thecampus of Showa Women's University
beginning in the summer of 2019! This facility
will replace both Azabu Hall and Mita Hall,and will house all existing TUJ operations.
The TUJ, Temple U, and Showa Women's
University (SWU) teams have been working on
this for a full year and I have been waiting forthe day when we could tell all of our faculty,
staff, students and supporters that, after 20
years, we are finally moving to a building thatis built to our design for education purposes,that will bring all TUJ operations under one
roof, and which will be located on a realcollege campus. The move comes at a very
important time as our undergraduate student
body is now approaching 1,200 students andthere is not much more room to grow at ourcurrent location.
But this move is much more than just a movefrom one facility to another. Our partnershipwith SWU is the perfect example of the ideathat if globalization is driven by technicaladvances that make it easier for us to travel andcommunicate across borders, then international
relations is about the people who make thosecommunications and do that traveling. This is
all about educating TUJ and SWU students to
be good global citizens who can comfortablyinteract with people from other social,economic, religious, cultural and politicalbackgrounds.

Moving Forward
Continued from front page
The Japanese American relationship is a great
example of how dissimilar people can learn tocollaborate and cooperate. It is an historic
example of former bitter enemies becoming theclosest of friends and allies. This could only
occur through Japanese people and American
people communicating: getting to know,
understand, and appreciate each other. What
we are doing will help carry on that tradition toa new generation. By bringing students fromJapan, America, and from around the globe to
one place with these two universities, we havecreated the foundation upon which we can
educate a new global generation by providing
knowledge,
understanding
and,
most
importantly, the experience of communicating
across all national, religious, ethnic andcultural boundaries. This partnership will
become one of the great initiatives in Japaneseand American higher education.
So, what will the partnership look like? Well
the most obvious is the new building. It will be
6 stories tall and have a floor space of about
8,831 square meters (8,831 about 95,000 sq.
feet), with a large open atrium design on thefirst floor that will contain a student lounge,
cafeteria and art gallery space. The building
will be across a narrow street from the main
SWU campus and accessible directly from theSangenjaya subway station. In addition, TUJ
students will have access to amenities on the
SWU campus made available to them, while
SWU students will be able to use the TUJ
campus as well.
The interaction between TUJ and SWU
students will be supported by the physicalproximity of the two campuses and by the othercollaborative programs that TUJ and SWU willdevelop. TUJ and SWU already have an MOU
for academic exchange, but by the time TUJ
moves on to the SWU campus we will have an

academic partnering program that will allow
SWU to complete two years of their education
at TUJ with the goal of attaining degrees fromboth institutions. The academic relationshipwill also support collaboration among SWU
and TUJ faculty.
Collaborative academic and administrative
programs, close proximity, and joint usage offacilities on each location will allow for student
formal and informal interactions andcollaborations. For example, we envision thatstudent clubs from the two organizations will
want to work with each other. Art, fashion, anddesign projects undertaken by students fromboth institutions can be displayed together.
Sports clubs can compete against each other.
Finally, I want to give a shout out to theleadership of SWU. This partnership could
only work because SWU is a very forwardlooking Japanese institution that is willing toleverage their relationship with TUJ, the only
fully-operating foreign university in Japan, tosupport the development of their own
international programs by increasing theirdiversity and increasing the number of Englishlanguage content courses available to theirstudents. SWU has already gotten a great startin both areas through their Global Business andInternational Studies programs. Also, SWU is
one of the few Japanese universities to have afull campus overseas, Showa Boston, and we
can foresee even broader collaboration between
Temple University, SWU, TUJ and Showa
Boston.
There are also many other initiatives going on
at TUJ but of course none will have as big an
impact as the SWU partnership. So pleasewatch this space over the next few years as I
keep you up to date with developments in the
SWU partnership, as well as our otherinitiatives.

importance of having a presence in Japan at atime when the country was reaching the pinnacle
of international prominence following three
decades of postwar economic growth.
Temple's example was soon followed by manyother universities. Today, TUJ is the only foreign
university undergraduate and graduate branch
campus remaining from the original 1980’s wave
of institution building. It has persevered withJapan through the country’s travails from thecollapse of the bubble era and subsequent "lostdecade" of the 1990s, to the tragedy of the March
11, 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake andTsunami.
That TUJ remains in Japan, where others havefaltered, is a testament to Temple University'scommitment to Japan and to international higher
education. In partial recognition of thiscommitment, TUJ won formal recognition by theJapan Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports,
Science and Technology (MEXT) in February2005 and was officially designated a Foreign
University, Japan Campus.
In June 2017, TUJ announced a new initiativewith Showa Women’s University (SWU) to sharea campus in Setagaya-ku, Tokyo. TUJ will moveits entire operation from its current locations in
Minato-ku, Tokyo by September 2019 to a
dedicated six-story building on SWU’s existing
campus.
This agreement is the first of its kind between
Japanese and American universities and marks anunprecedented step to promote the globalizationof Japanese universities, and re-affirms thecommitment of Temple University to Japan.
A new chapter in TUJ’s 35-year history begins.

1995
Ramon Fargas (M.Ed. TESOL) has recently
published two high-school Physics booklets incollaboration with colleagues at the Okayama
Prefectural Kurashiki Amaki Senior HighSchool, a Japanese super science designatedhigh school (SSH). The booklets provide
Japanese-English translations of nouns andverbs commonly used in secondary school
Physics, and also include sample sentence
structures. A third booklet, with more advanced
vocabulary, is currently in progress. The
booklets may be combined into a much larger
publication in future.

Ramon writes that the booklets, “may be thefirst of their kind in Japan.” Copies of the
publications will be sent to TUJ’s Osaka

The 2017 Diamond Dinner held on June 2nd in
the Ballroom of the Shangri-La Hotel in
Chiyoda-ku brought dozens of TUJ alumni,
friends and donors together in a year-end
celebration on the eve of the school’scommencement weekend.
This year’s event set a record with 120
supporters coming out to help raise funds forstudent scholarships. Tickets sold out 2 weeks
in advance of the deadline.
Among the many attendees were parents of
TUJ students, senior administrators visitingfrom Main Campus in Philadelphia including
President Richard Englert and Provost JoAnne
Epps, and members of the TUJ Board ofOverseers.
The night kicked off with a silent auction as thedoors opened at 7:00 p.m.
Dinner guests
sipped champagne and engaged in somefriendly but competitive betting on a range ofdonated prizes including hotel vouchers, dinnercertificates to top Tokyo restaurants, luxury
handbags and jewelry.
Dedicated student volunteers made theevening’s guests feel welcome, while doublingas the evening entertainment. The students,
members of the TUJ Chorus, serenaded theroom with “Be Our Guest” and “Moon River.”This year’s event generated more than ¥ 2.5
million net profit to be used for student
scholarships and financial aid.
Because Temple University, Japan Campus
receives no financial support from the Japanese
government, the school relies on the generosityof donors and sponsors to help meet thescholarship needs of its students.
The
Diamond Dinner is an important part of theuniversity’s annual fund-raising campaign.
Thanks to all who participated. We lookforward to seeing everyone again in June 2018.

Gregory Yen (L.L.M.) and his wife Glorian
welcomed a new baby boy, Theodore (Theo)Yen, on December 1, 2016. Gregory writes,“he is so very cute and I hope the TUJ staff are
all doing well.”Congratulations to Gregory and Glorian!
