Throughout the week, eleven Harvard College undergraduates and alumni, one Stanford University undergraduate, and a guest speaker presented their own stories to SIJ 7-day English seminar students and parents. Team USA offered diverse perspectives in a meaningful way, followed by questions from students regarding their interests, travel, research, hometown, campus life and more. The common point mentioned by the specially selected Team USA, was an appreciation for traveling, including personal experiences visiting more than 40 countries and residing between two or more!

The guest speaker was Kohei Takatsuka, who will be studying at the Harvard Business School from the Fall Semester this year. His was a valuable story about solving the Japanese healthcare problem with strategies that reach beyond just the medical field.
