JAIMS Celebrates Thirty Years of International Management Education
Founded in 1972 in Hawaii upon the initiative of Fujitsu, the Japan-America Institute of
Management Science (JAIMS) is observing its thirtieth anniversary this year. Participants
in the JAIMS program, who come from all over the world, hone their cross-cultural
communication abilities and business skills through internships in global companies and
organizations, and coursework toward an American M.B.A. degree. After completing the
program, they are well prepared to serve as leaders in the international community.
Support for the International Mathematical Olympiad
The International Mathematical Olympiad is a competition that is dedicated to identifying
and fostering mathematically talented young people from all nations. In addition to giving
them an opportunity to develop their talents, it promotes friendship among children and
educators from around the world who like mathematics. Events have been held every year
since the first competition in Romania in 1959, with participating countries serving as host
on a rotating basis. Japan will be the venue for the 44th competition in 2003, and Fujitsu
will be providing a broad range of support as
the sole sponsor.
