Team

Our traveling team consists of 20 full-time professionals accompanying the 180 students. These include 15 Fellows, a Dean, an Associate Dean, a Medical Officer and a Security officer, all of whom will be experts in their fields and have experience managing young adults. This group will be working with our students for a full year, from the day students receive their acceptance letters until students board their planes home from Hokkaido.

Fellows

Like the students they will serve, Fellows will be taking a gap year of their own, just later in life than the student cohort. They will be chosen from across the globe and will be experts in different fields, such as business, journalism, sports, counseling, universities, law, arts, medicine, film, and photography. Each fellow serves 12 students and develops a deep relationship with them through our advising program. We will be announcing our Fellows in batches over the next two months. Please meet some of our Fellows below.
