Eye on Japan Lecture Series

Anaheim University, which at the time was Newport Asia Pacific University, and Columbia University's Columbia Video Network, a component of the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science formed an alliance to co-host the "Eye on Japan Lecture Series" in which twelve lectures/interviews featuring the most renowned figures in Japan were to be broadcast live over the Internet and archived on the web sites of both universities. This lecture series was a non-profit public service co-sponsored by the two universities for the purpose of providing insight into various aspects of Japan - thus the name "Eye on Japan". This lecture series was interrupted due to the tragic events of 911.
