LET THE COUNTDOWN TO JAPAN NIGHT 2012 BEGIN! Glad to see our promise of sushi, sake, and sexy maid costumes have been attracting so many of you to Japan Night. But what if you’re a non-drinking vegetarian who isn’t into maids? We’ve got you covered! There are vegetarian/non-alcoholic/sumo options available as well (careful, the sumos might eat your food, even vegetarian ones, they don’t care). Get your sake cups ready to sit back and enjoy drum performances, take the JMAT, watch out feature film and dances, all showcasing talented members of our amazing Kellogg family. 4. MORE. DAYS.
Sincerely, Japan Club Leadership Team 2012 |

Speaker Session with Dr. Shibata, the Inventor of PARO (the world's most therapeutic robot) Come see and hear about the design process behind PARO, the world's most therapeutic robot certified by Guinness World Records, from PARO’s inventor, Dr. Takanori Shibata (National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology) PARO has 5 kinds of sensors: tactile, light, audition, temperature, and posture sensors, with which it can perceive people and its environment. These 5 sensors allow PARO to distinguish between light and dark, if he is being stroked or beaten, and recognizing its name, greetings, and praise. Interaction with PARO provokes positive memories of pets or stuffed animals, making the user feel amused and relaxed, driving psychological and physiological therapy. PARO is being used to treat patients with Alzheimer's and other debilitating physical and emotional illnesses. President Obama loves it, so will you!
