2024 Donald R. Culton Study Abroad Scholarship Recipient (Alex Robles – Riverside Community College District summer abroad in Tokyo, Japan)

I (Alex) was fortunate to spend a six-week study abroad trip to Japan this summer. For the first two weeks, I attended lecture classes for business, while for the rest of the four weeks, I interned at an international school called “Growing Tree”. Within these six weeks, I was privileged enough to tour a Japanese college, stay with a Japanese family for the weekend, travel to Disneyland, Universal, and Team Labs, and go sightseeing during my spare time. The 500 dollars that was granted to me went to all these expenses.

During the first two weeks of my stay, I attended lecture courses on global business. The professor was a native-born in Japan and had operated in the business world in Japan and the U.S. Her experience brought the class to life.
