Preparing for Japan
Logan Sappia, SIS/BA ’28
The SIS community has helped create an easier transition into another country.
I've never been to Japan, so it's going to be a unique experience, but I'm really looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to a different environment, a whole different culture, and a whole different area that I've never been to before. I'm excited that while I’m in college learning new things, I get to do that in a completely different setting. I think that will be a great opportunity.
