AUM also prepared her dad for his career in Neonatology.

Through this program, students will have the opportunity to teach English in Japan and get paid. U.S. students with a bachelor’s degree are eligible to apply.

AUM Professor Naomi Chiba invited the ambassadors from the Consulate-General of Japan in Atlanta, Ga. to come to AUM and give our students a comprehensive introduction about the JET Program. They will bring the traditional instruments and give our students a Japanese music festival as well.

This is not only a great job opportunity, but also a good chance to have a hands-on experience with Japanese culture.

Political Film Series: When Trumpets Fade

The film revolves around the actions of Private David Manning, a soldier in the 28th Infantry Division who, in order to survive, does just enough to stay out of trouble, but not enough to actually make a difference. HBO’s When Trumpets Fade is one of the most underrated war movies; a movie that provides the audience with a close-up look at the brutal reality of combat and insights to what war does to a man.

The film will be introduced by Dr. Ben Severance, professor in the Department of History & World Languages & Cultures, and is co-sponsored by the College of Arts & Sciences.
