JAPANESE STUDENT ASSOCIATION
The Student Organization at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
The Japanese Student Association is a social and cultural organization intended to spread Japanese culture and contribute to diversity on the UW-Madison campus. Since the organization's establishment in 2014, we have hosted regular meetings and events for students of the Madison community who are a part of or interested in Japanese culture. In 2015, we began programs to assist students in job hunting and language support.
OUR VALUES
CULTURAL SPACE
The Japanese Student Association strives to provide a safe space for community members of Japanese descent and a place to learn more about Japanese culture, meet new people, and develop professional skills for all who are interested. JSA provides a community for those of Japanese descent by creating an inclusive space that celebrates shared experiences and Japanese heritage. Our organization, however, is open to all students at UW-Madison with an appreciation for Japanese culture or a desire to learn more.
CULTURAL CELEBRATION
JSA celebrates Japanese culture and supports its members by hosting cultural, language, professional development, and social justice events. Two of our main events have been a haunted house in the fall semester in collaboration with other Asian student organizations and the Spring Festival in the spring semester.
JSA COMMUNITY
This organization is open to all UW-Madison students. If you would like to be added to our emailing list, please contact us via email or Instagram.
