On December 17, the Master’s Program in Japan Studies hosted its year-end Christmas party, bringing together faculty and students from all cohorts. Continuing the program's long-standing tradition, the event served to strengthen the sense of community and fellowship. In addition to a festive feast, the celebration featured the classic gift exchange, with both professors and students preparing highly creative and thoughtful presents. A subsequent "Fast-Response" trivia challenge allowed students to learn more about the program’s history and various fun facts. Through these engaging activities, everyone had the opportunity to connect and create wonderful memories to cap off the year.
