Launched in 2014, Global Link New York is a selective, one-month summer program in New York City organized by the Japan ICU Foundation (JICUF) for students of International Christian University (ICU) in Tokyo, Japan. The program’s main objective is to expose students to globally oriented careers. Throughout the month of July, we organize a series of office visits, sector-specific professional roundtables, networking events, professional-skills workshops, discussion sessions, and volunteer activities in New York City and Washington, D.C. Our goal is to inspire students to reflect not only on their professional potential, but also on their personal attitudes and identities in an increasingly interconnected world.
