The Tokyo International University’s E-Track Alumni Association (or, EAA) was founded in 2018 on the initiative to “build bridges around the globe.” TIU has nurtured internationally-minded students during their studies at TIU, and this Association will keep them in touch across countries and for a lifetime. It is a long way ahead for all of us but staying in touch and knowing that there remains the warm and welcoming TIU community, is comforting.
