On Friday, August 2, participants for the 2024 JET Program (Japan Exchange and Teaching Program) were invited to Belmont University in Nashville for a pre-departure orientation for about 40 participants.

The JET Program is administered by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, and the Council of Local Authorities for International Relations (CLAIR), with the aim of promoting internationalization at the grassroots level in Japan.
