Akie's Program

Former CIEE Student, now CIEE Program leader! I'm Akie and I am currently documenting my travels and adventure during my trip in Japan as a Program Leader for the Language and Culture program (session 2)!

In 2023, I was a student in Tokyo Culture and Communication Faculty-Led summer program hosted by UTD and CIEE. Since then, I have graduated from UTD and have been trying new things and career paths and spending my summer with CIEE sounded like an amazing learning opportunity!
