2012年4月24日（水）に、Nebraska州のCreighton Universityから、Dr. Maria KraneとMs. Heather Torresがフルブライト・ジャパンのオフィスを訪問してくださいました。

Dr. Kraneは2007年の5月にもフルブライト・ジャパンを訪問してくださっており、今回で２度目です。５年ぶりに、日本からの留学生の動向や、最近の日本の事情を説明すると、興味深そうに聞き入っておられました。

Creighton University は、ネブラスカ州オマハにある、中規模の総合大学です。ネブラスカ（Nebraska)州がどこにあるかご存知ですか？詳しくは、こちらを。大学は、創立が1878年と歴史があり、キリスト教系、学生数は7,000人ながら50以上の学部専攻課程があり、20以上の大学院が併設されています。中規模にもかかわらず、Medical SchoolやLaw Schoolがあるのには驚きました。
キャンパスは、オマハのダウンタウンの真ん中にあり、都会と自然が融和した独特のたたずまい。ダウンタウンの中心なのに大きな池もあるそうです。Dr. Kraneは、PCで画面を見ながら説明してくださったので、まるでキャンパスを実際に訪問しているような臨場感がありました。

留学生は、世界４０カ国から約２５０人。しかし、日本からの留学生は現在ゼロ（！）だそうで、「日本人留学生に是非来て欲しい！昔はもっと居たのに、どうしてかしら？知名度がないから？」と残念そうに語っていらっしゃいました。Creighton Universityは歴史的に、日本との縁も深く、大学の英語研修プログラムは、1970年代に日本人留学生を受け入れるために創設されたとか。留学生には英語の条件付き入学もあるそうです。

Creighton Universityに興味のある方は、こちらを。

Dr. Kraneは、もともとブラジルからの留学生だったそうで、ブラジルのフルブライト奨学金をもらってアメリカ留学し、現在に至るそうです。流暢な英語力と暖かな笑顔が心に残りました。良い旅を！

2013年4月15日（月）、California州の州立大学、SAN FRANCISCO STATE UNIVERSITY(SFSU)からDr. Jose L. GalvanとMr. Koichiro Aoshimaがフルブライト・ジャパンのオフィスを訪問してくださいました。



SFSUで学ぶ留学生の割合は、現在、全校生徒のうち約5%。この割合を倍にしたい！と、留学生受け入れにさらに力を入れているそうです。

IIE（Institute of International Education）の調査によると、SFSUは、日本人留学生の多い大学（大学学部課程）で第3位、4年制大学では第1位。日本人留学生に人気の理由には何があるのでしょう？？

Dr. Galvanが、皆様へ以下、メッセージを下さいました。

「San Francisco State Universityは、留学生がはじめて降り立つ異国の場所として、soft landing（軟着陸）できる絶好の場所です。その理由は、Paul Simon Awardという国際的なアメリカの大学に対して与えられる賞を受賞したことからもお分かりいただけるように、留学生の受け入れ態勢が万全であるということが言えます。青島さんをはじめとする留学生アドバイザーが常勤しておりますし、また、留学生に対する奨学金制度もあります。英語研修プログラムももちろんあります。

留学生向けプログラムとしては、"The Study in San Francisco Program"というnon-degree（学位取得目的ではない/卒業目的ではない）学生向けプログラムを新設しました。夏の間だけ、または一学期間だけなど、アメリカの大学で勉強してみたいという方々にお勧めのプログラムです（正規の授業を受けるので、ある程度の英語力は必須）。短期留学をお考えの方なら、誰でも応募できます。
http://sfsummer.sfsu.edu/content/academics

また、MBA(Master of Business Administration)プログラムに入学したいけれど、基本的なビジネスに関する知識がないという学生向けには、オンラインcertificate（修了書） programもあります。」

日本人留学生が多いということから、「アメリカに留学している日本人留学生を積極的に受け入れたい！」という日本企業が、SFSUを訪問して、個別に企業説明会を開催することもしばしばあるそうです。

また、日本人同窓会の規模が大きいことから、毎年夏に日本で同窓会を開いているそうです。その際、卒業生だけでなく、現役学生、これから留学する学生が一同に介し、情報交換をしているとか。OB、OGのお話を聞けるのは、就活にも役立ちそうですね。

2013年4月11日（木）に朝活第二弾として、今関氏より『留学とキャリア』についてメッセージをいただきました。

ご協力頂きました今関様、
早朝から貴重なお話をありがとうございました。

メッセージは、聞き手によって受け取り方は様々だと思います。

今回は1人のスタッフが受け取ったメッセージをお伝えいたします。
----------------------------------------------------
「雲の上の人」と一度思ってしまったら、
「自分とは違う」と一線を引いてしまった事はありませんか？
ついつい自分と比べてしまった事はありませんか？
そして少し悲観的になってしまった時に、
自分と重なる部分があると親しみが一気に湧いてくると思います。

このような想いに至ったのには、
今関氏の話で気付かされた事の中にありました。
そして、この『気付き』はあらゆるシーンや事柄へと
繋がっていく事にも気付かされました。

今関氏よりお話いただいた内容には、
専門分野の情報も含まれていましたが、
非常にわかりやすく説明してくださいました。
一つ一つに説得力があり、聞き手は「なるほど」と
なっていたかと思います。これは、やはり今関氏の伝える力・
コミュニケーション能力にあるのではないでしょうか。

この力を磨くには、留学は良い手段になると思います。
なぜなら、留学とは専門分野の知識を身につけるだけでは
ありません。色々な国々の人と様々な価値観の中で勉強をし、
生活をします。これまでとは全く違った環境に身を置くことによって
他人を知る。自分を知る。自分を知ってもらう。
更には、自分を受け入れてもらう。他人も受け入れる。
そうなるには、コミュニケーション能力は欠かせません。
これを磨かなければ何も始まらないと今更かも知れませんが、
そう気付かされました。当たり前すぎて見落としていたり、
見えなくなっていたのかも知れません。

この『気付き』をビジネスシーンに置き換えてみます。

まず他人を知る事により、相手のニーズを把握できます。そして、
自分を知る事により提供可能なサービスを選出できます。
そこで何が一番最善なサービスかを磨かれた
コミュニケーション能力で、見極めます。

その他にも、もし業務フローに違和感を感じているのであれば、
具体的な『気付き』が必要となります。
現状（改善前）と描く未来（改善後）を明確にし、
何をどのようになぜ変えたいのか
的確に伝える事によって新たな道が拓けます。

この他にも気付かされた事がありました。
この朝活は、お話いただいた内容自体も大変勉強になりますが、
コミュニケーション・プレゼンテーション方法も学べます。
わずかな時間の中にたくさんの事が凝縮されています。
スタッフが気付いていない事もまだまだ埋もれています。
何を得たいのか、何を得るかはみなさん次第です。

ワクワクするような毎日を送るには、
まずは『気付く』ことに目覚めなければ
いけないのかもしれません。

朝は一分でも一秒でも長く寝ていたいものですが、
明日の朝は二分ゆっくりする分、
今日は一分頑張って早く起きて、
是非参加してみてください。

次回の朝活は、5月13日（月）です。
（事前予約は不要です。）
