As we set our course for the future in the new millennium, Japan Week 2009 gives us the opportunity to build a bridge between cultures that will enable us to share our knowledge and experiences of Japan through lectures, symposia, workshops, events and awards. Japan Week 2009 demonstrates Seton Hall University's ongoing commitment to bringing together people of different races, religions, cultures, and ethnic backgrounds. The week-long activities of Japan Week 2009 will provide an atmosphere conducive to a greater understanding of Japan and its people. It is our hope that participants in these events will become leaders in a flourishing dialogue between Japan and the United States and work towards building a more peaceful global community.
