With 1560 members (1388 Japanese, 172 non-Japanese) the Japan Stanford
Association is one of Stanford University’s largest alumni
organizations outside the United States and one of the most prominent
foreign university alumni organizations in Japan.
The Japanese alumni club of Stanford is considered to have established some 85 years ago since we were notified by Stanford University of the very old fact that the name of a Japanese alumni club appeared for the first time in 1920 at Stanford.
It was in 1977 when the former Tokyo Stanford Club was renamed to Japan Stanford Association (JSA) under the president Mr. Yoshio Higashiuchi and was reorganized as a more formal nationwide association.
Since then, the JSA has been acting as an official Japanese organization for Stanford Alumni Association and attaining closer ties with Stanford University.
JSA has engaged in a number of collaborating projects such as rendering cooperation to the activities of Stanford Japan Center, donating scholarship fund to Stanford University under the name of “The Japan Stanford Association and Friends Fellowship Fund” which currently holds US$750,000 to support Japanese students studying at Stanford University.
Further more, the JSA has organized a large number of activities, including hosting receptions in honor of successive Presidents of Stanford University and other people related to University, seminars and more casual events such as golf tournament, and etc.
I, therefore, hope everyone to make most of the JSA and build up more friendly and fruitful network among the JSA members as well as people of Stanford University and alumni members of other countries through the JSA activities.
Lastly, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Mr. Keiji Mitsubuchi, one of the directors of the JSA for building this web page and also to the directors and alumni members for their various contributions to run the JSA.
