GL New York

Launched in 2014, Global Link New York is a selective summer program in New York City organized by the Japan ICU Foundation (JICUF) for students of International Christian University (ICU) in Tokyo, Japan.

Global Link supports ICU’s mission to nurture the next generation of globally-minded citizens who can co-exist and cooperate with others in both international and local settings. The Global Link program accomplishes this by incorporating the following activities.

1. Development of professional skills
2. Interactions with successful professionals (many of whom are ICU alumni)
3. Introduction to global careers
4. Exposure to NYC’s diversity 

In 2016, a short trip to Washington, D.C. was incorporated into the program.
In 2020, we will visit Boston for the first time to offer students an opportunity to meet alumni and other professionals there.
