Ishinomaki City: Senshu University

(April 25, 2015) Since its founding in 1989, globalization has been a central theme to Senshu University's philosophy and the school has developed cultural and educational exchange programs in various countries. Senshu University has a partnership agreement with Washington University and an exchange program with Seattle Pacific University. During the Great East Japan Earthquake, the campus of Senshu University became a central point of recovery activities, and today it continues its role of rebuilding the community. Ambassador Kennedy visited the campus in September of 2014. The planting of 20 Friendship Blossoms dogwood trees on April 25th, 2015 represents a strong bond between Japan and the United States.
