The Project Japan Fund will support one student during the summer months to conduct research in Japan- specifically exploring contemporary issues that challenge Japan and seeking possible ways to address those issues, potentially drawing upon American experience. Students must have some mastery of the Japanese language and requisite coursework preparation to conduct their research.

Travel, living, and project expenses may be covered, up to a maximum of $3750. Interested students should apply with a letter detailing the aims of the project and the plan of work the student proposes to engage in. In addition, applicants should describe their previous coursework that is relevant to the project, explain how the project relates to their ongoing academic program, and identify a faculty advisor for their project. The letter should also include a budget and a timetable outlining when the work would be done.

Letters should be sent to grant coordinator Prof. Will Gardner by May 1, 2009 (e-mail letter to wgardne1). Applicants should identify one Swarthmore faculty member whom the selection committee may contact for an oral recommendation.

Sick of misery poker? Wish you and your fellow swatties could spend more time talking the things you love about your lives and less time talking about stress, grades, and overbooked schedules? We do too! Speak 2 Swatties has noticed that one of the big obstacles at Swat preventing a healthy mind set is a culture of misery, obsessed with stress and negativity. So why don’t we change it?
Speak 2 Swatties and Health and Wellness Committee are sponsoring a week to celebrate the things we are grateful for in our lives. The celebration starts on Sunday (4/26) at 10pm. Come meet us up in front of Parrish at this time to chalk the campus about the things we are grateful!
On Monday night (4/27) at 8pm in Shane Lounge we will be hosting a party to continue the celebration. We will be creating a display of the things we love about our lives and being at Swat. At this time you’ll also have the opportunity to write notes to people on campus you want to show your appreciation for, which S2S will deliver the next day.
Wednesday night, Health and Wellness Committee will be continuing gratitude week by sponsoring a meditation night at 8pm in Bond Hall.
Please come join us for a few days of celebrating our lives at time when many students are inclined to bemoan them!
