Honoring Associate Director Gay Satsuma: A Tribute to 28 Years of Service

On December 7, 2023, the Center for Japanese Studies held a celebration for Associate Director Gay Satsuma at Kennedy Theatre’s 2nd floor lanai.

Many would say that Gay IS the Center for Japanese Studies; she has worked with all but one of the previous directors of the Center since she began her grand tenure in 1995.
