Get ready, get set…
As I write this post, I’m just a few days away from embarking on what is sure to be an adventure for me–while I have some idea of what to expect and I’m excited about it, I’m also nervous, overwhelmed, and more than a little bit anxious. Why? Because on January 5, I’ll leave for Tokyo, which will become my home-away-from-home for the first half of 2024, thanks to a new initiative from the Office of the Provost, which seeks to improve the collegiality and connections between main campus in Philadelphia and TU Japan by sending American faculty to teach in Tokyo for a semester or two.
