The Japan-U.S. Student Symposium / Cultural Exchange Party The Pasona Internship Program sponsored the Japan-U.S. Student Symposium in Tokyo in July 1998 with the participation of Pasona Internship Program summer interns and many Japanese college students. The theme of the symposium was "Do today's youth live their lives with a dream?" Three Japanese students and two Pasona Internship Program summer interns discussed their "Dreams" and what they need to make their dreams come true as panelists on the stage. Mr. Yoshimi Ishikawa, a well-known writer in Japan, coordinated the discussion as a moderator. Mr. Nambu also participated in the symposium. One of the Pasona Internship Program interns talked about his enthusiasm for dealing with environmental issues and the desire to expend the business that related to his internship to the United State market. Another Pasona Internship Program intern said that to be honest and confident in himself were most important in pursuing his dream.
