JSA is a student group at the University of Pennsylvania that celebrates Japanese culture. We're a fun group of friends looking to meet other people and promote Japanese culture. We strive to bring people together with ties or interests in Japan, while also providing social and cultural activities. We also help to aid freshmen, transfers, exchange students, and English Language Program students in their adjustment to the University of Pennsylvania. Professionally, we assist the members of JSA in looking for jobs or study abroad opportunities in Japan through activities such as Boston Career Fair.

It is also an opportunity for people who are learning Japanese to get to meet people who are fluent in the language and practice with them. Members can get to meet new people at events like karaoke and general body meetings. There are also food events like sushi night, curry drive, and mochi fest where the Penn community can enjoy homemade Japanese food. Personally, JSA has been a club where I was able to meet other students that I wouldn’t have otherwise who have the same passion for the Japanese culture."},{"id":33,"text":"JSA holds events throughout the year to celebrate Japanese tradition.
