KCJS Awards

To recognize the achievements of our students, KCJS awards five awards each semester:

1) Excellence in Community Involvement Award 
This award honors the leadership and contributions of Henry D. Smith II, KCJS director from 2005-2011. The awardee exemplifies the program’s aim of fostering direct, personal engagement with the people and organizations of Kyoto in ways that advance linguistic fluency, cultural literacy, and cross-cultural understanding.


2) Excellence in Japanese Performance Award
The award honors the leadership and contributions of Ginger Marcus, professor of Japanese at Washington University in St. Louis and chair of the KCJS board from 2005 to 2011. Granted by the KCJS core faculty, the awardee demonstrated the most outstanding linguistic improvement during their term at KCJS.
