Past Shizuoka Summer Tour participants at UNO's Arts and Sciences Hall and the Omaha Zoo
UNO will host 18 university students for a short-term language fluency and culture group from our partner, Shizuoka University in Japan. Shizuoka students will be in Omaha for 3 weeks from August 6th through 26th, taking classes, meeting UNO students, asking questions about life in the United States, and visiting local sites, including Henry Doorly Zoo, Mahoney State Park, Jazz on the Green, the Aksarben Farmer’s Market, and the Nebraska Crossing Outlet Mall. They will do a number of surveys and scavenger hunts exploring the Old Market, Aksarben, and campus and gathering perspectives from people in Omaha on topics like professional goals and experiences, community and family activities, and student life experiences on and off campus. The Shizuoka Summer Tours began in 1979 with UNO’s partnership agreement. Over the past 44 years, UNO, ILUNO, and Shizuoka have offered tuition scholarships for exchange for students and faculty.
