Waseda/TSA Program - Campus Life

This site is designed for Waseda University students interested in, or accepted to, the 2011/2012 TSA (Thematic Studies Abroad) program at Lewis & Clark College.

Waseda/TSA Program participants are welcome to participate in all Lewis & Clark College student activities. These include club activities, special lecture series, club sports, concerts, media groups, and College Outdoors programs.

In addition, Lewis & Clark has provided a few special activities that will help Waseda students integrate into campus life. These include:

Conversation Groups: Waseda participants will meet with Lewis & Clark students once a week in conversation groups. Topics will be chosen by the students themselves. All Lewis & Clark students will be volunteers, selected because of their interest in international students.

Friendship Family Program: Each Waseda participant will be paired with a US “Friendship Family,” if desired. Friendship Families volunteer to host the Waseda students once each month. Waseda students may be invited to participate in family outings, dinners, parties, or trips.

Special invitation to College Outdoors programs: While TSA participants may sign up for any College Outdoors program that interests them, the College Outdoors staff has agreed to reserve up to two spaces for TSA students on trips during the fall and spring semesters. This will enable Waseda students to participate in the outdoor programs with US students. The fall schedule is available online. To sign up for a particular trip, students may visit the College Outdoors Office and identify themselves as Waseda/TSA students. The staff will permit TSA students to sign up for a trip up to one week before the published deadline. Students are expected to pay any trip fees at the time of sign up.

Special invitation to Leadership & Service activities: The staff of the Student Leadership and Services has agreed to reserve up to two spaces for Waseda students on selected volunteer activities.
