“The teachers in the Japanese program have been the best and most caring teachers in my learning career. They were always willing to meet outside of class and hold office hours in their own time whenever I needed help.”

“If not for Suga-sensei, I would not be where I am today...She inspires her students to explore the language and culture outside of our comfort zones and in doing so, encourages us to challenge/improve our language skills beyond any level we believed we were capable of achieving. ”

“The language instruction that I received from the Japanese department at UW-Milwaukee was phenomenal. It is because of the program that I was able to come work in Japan and settle into my career more easily.”

“Thanks to the many great professors and staff at UW-Milwaukee’s Japanese Language Department, I have accomplished one of the most challenging goals in my life: successfully living and working in Japan.”

“Thanks to the Japanese program at UWM, I am currently living in a country that I love and doing work that I find both fulfilling and enjoyable.”
