STUDENT PROFILE: JORDAN SIEVERSFilm and Media Arts major

Fall 2013 Freeman Scholar

Internship: Staff Writer at The Japan Times, Life and Culture Section

In Jordan’s words:As a staff writer, I prepared short articles about artists, artgallery openings, and events in Tokyo for the paper andcontributed weekly book reviews. Through this experience, I gained first-hand insight into the operations of a prominentinternational news organization and made invaluableprofessional connections. I dramatically improved my writingabilities and learned what it’s like to work in a Japanesebusiness environment where it’s necessary to operate understrict deadlines and expectations.

Taking on an internship allowed me to experience life inJapan, not only as a student, but as a member of Japanesesociety. It can be easy to stay in the American bubble and liveyour life in Japan as more of an extended tourist rather than acitizen. Having an internship with significant responsibilityprovided an understanding of what living and working Japan isreally like.

Without the Freeman Foundation’s generous scholarship, mytime at TUJ would not have been possible. Not only did theirsupport help fund my semester, but they also provided mewith a valuable mentor who made sure I was well taken care ofduring my time abroad.

My future plans are to return to Japan as an English teacher.Ultimately, I hope to improve my Japanese fluency andeventually work in the Japanese television or entertainmentmarketing industry.

More than 70 organizations andinstitutions currently participatein the TUJ internship program.They include:

Another major milestonewas the establishment of Temple University Japanin 1982, what is today a thriving branch campuswith both undergraduate and graduate levelprograms. Throughout the years, Temple hasencouraged faculty to develop and lead programsaround the world to provide additional opportunitiesfor students; many of our dedicated faculty havecontinued their programs year after year.

We in Temple Education Abroad are proud to carry out Temple’s commitment to study abroad by continually developing and strengthening study abroad programming not only for Templestudents but for the hundreds of students from other U.S. colleges and universities whoparticipate in our programs each year.
