If you’re looking for something to do during the Summer like an internship, a trip to Japan, or just some way to give back to the community, NSU does provide you with some options! We also provide you with opportunities to win scholarships!

Thank you Daniel Kwak and Brian Arita for putting together Goodluck Potluck and to all of you who contributed and came out! The food was fantastic and the company was amazing.

Our last event of the quarter is BROOMBAAAAAAAAALL, Saturday 10:30pm. Please contact your family head and/or bigs for rides and pre-broomball festivities! If you don’t have a big or are not in a family yet, not to worry, just contact anyone on staff or any of the family heads!

After that there are no more events this quarter. But if you want to spend more time with Nikkei STUDY Union, you could get your study on with us! Throw them D’s out the window because we all help each other stay focused on them A’s. Find out when and where we meet here.

Good luck to you all on your finals, don’t drive yourselves too crazy, and have a wonderful break and holiday. Peace.

Hope you had all kinds of fun at Meltdown last week!

Come on out to GBM this week! Get updated about all the different activities we have going on, from family activities to Culture Show to IM sports! We will also talk about one of our biggest and (personally one of my favorite) events of the year: BROOMBALL.
