Our December Photo of the Month comes from Carlo Capua (Niigata, 2000-2002).

This December, Japan Society of Boston featured Jennifer Sherman (Mie, 2012-2016), in their JSB meets JET Alumni series.

Cara Lam's journey into the JET Program and Japan was inspired by her multicultural upbringings and her undeniable passion for adventure. She credits the JET Program for transforming her sense of adventure into purpose. Representing the United States at the Dragon Boat World Championships in the summer of 2025 in Germany and reconnecting with her former students in Japan, Cara's adventures are still going strong, even after Japan.
