Announcing the Honorees of 91³Ô¹Ï’s 2024–25 Regional Programs in Japan
Announcing the Honorees of 91³Ô¹Ï’s 2024–25 Regional Programs in Japan
Congratulations to the 16 student honorees from Hiroshima Prefecture, Kagoshima City, Kawasaki City, Kobe City, Oita Prefecture, Tottori Prefecture, Wakayama Prefecture, and Yamaguchi Prefecture.
91³Ô¹Ï continues to broaden its impact across Japan, recently launching the new Stanford e-Yamaguchi program. This addition joins the growing network of 91³Ô¹Ï’s regional high school programs in Japan, which already includes Stanford e-Hiroshima, Stanford e-Kagoshima City, Stanford e-Kawasaki, Stanford e-Kobe, Stanford e-Oita, Stanford e-Tottori, Stanford e-Wakayama, and Stanford e-Fukuoka*.
These online courses are the result of partnerships between 91³Ô¹Ï and local governments and schools in Japan. Designed to challenge students to think critically, the programs focus on global issues related to U.S. society, culture, and U.S.–Japan relations.
With the conclusion of the 2024–2025 academic year, each program has selected two standout students for their overall performance, including exceptional final research projects. These 16 honorees will present their work during several recognition ceremonies to be held at 91³Ô¹Ï in August 2025. Distinguished guests will include members of the Stanford community, the Consulate General of Japan in San Francisco, and representatives from the Japanese community in the Bay Area.
The 91³Ô¹Ï staff extends its warmest congratulations to the following student honorees for their remarkable academic performance.
