This year\u2019s recipients of the Class of 1973 Endowed Scholarship include Shannon Abbott \u201924. She recently reflected on her time abroad in Japan, an experience that she says broadened her horizons.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI love language learning and wanted to try a new language while studying at K,\u201d she said. \u201cI chose Japanese because I already had an interest in Japanese culture and thought it was a unique language to have the privilege to learn. Upon taking my first Japanese classes, I made close friends and had lots of fun, so I continued to study Japanese. Although Japanese is difficult, I find it to be a very rewarding language to learn and practice.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The six-month <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/k-plan\/study-abroad\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/k-plan\/study-abroad\/\">study abroad<\/a> experience allowed Abbott to meet new people through a homestay and an internship where she studied tea culture by learning sadou, a tea ceremony, and working in a tea shop. She also visited relevant sites in Kyoto before returning to K and applying her knowledge toward Japanese department events and its official social media.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abbott added that she gained a clearer sense of independence that classroom experiences wouldn\u2019t have provided.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think that being in an environment where you completely surrender to being a student\u2014as a foreigner to the language, customs and norms\u2014opens one up to new ways of thinking and thriving,\u201d she said. \u201cI believe I gained more life experience and experiential knowledge during those six months than I have throughout most of my adult life. I am extremely grateful for the funds I have received because they allowed me to live a dream. I made so many connections and friends in Japan, and I plan to go back and continue building those relationships.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>National Philanthropy Day is an opportunity to honor and celebrate the contributions of alumni and friends who support Kalamazoo College through their time, talent and charitable giving.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe generosity of individuals and groups like the class of 1973 not only enhances educational opportunities for our students, it also inspires others to contribute to the growth and success of future generations,\u201d Vice President for Advancement Karen Isble said. \u201cThis day serves as a reminder of the vital role that philanthropy plays in shaping a brighter future for students at K.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/11\/Shannon-Abbott-on-Study-Abroad-in-Japan-600x800.jpg\" alt=\"Shannon Abbott on Study Abroad in Japan for National Philanthropy Day\" class=\"wp-image-21138\" style=\"width:345px;height:460px\" width=\"345\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/11\/Shannon-Abbott-on-Study-Abroad-in-Japan-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/11\/Shannon-Abbott-on-Study-Abroad-in-Japan-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/11\/Shannon-Abbott-on-Study-Abroad-in-Japan-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/11\/Shannon-Abbott-on-Study-Abroad-in-Japan.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shannon Abbott &#8217;24, pictured here on study abroad in Japan, is one of this year&#8217;s recipients of the Class of 1973 Endowed Scholarship.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/11\/Class-of-73-check-presentation-600x429.jpg\" alt=\"Class of 73 check presentation\" class=\"wp-image-21150\" style=\"width:327px;height:234px\" width=\"327\" height=\"234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/11\/Class-of-73-check-presentation-600x429.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/11\/Class-of-73-check-presentation-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/11\/Class-of-73-check-presentation-150x107.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/11\/Class-of-73-check-presentation-1536x1097.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/11\/Class-of-73-check-presentation-2048x1463.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 327px) 100vw, 327px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A group of volunteers connected and engaged with their classmates to secure more than $300,000 from 64 members of the class of 1973 to endow a scholarship for Kalamazoo College students.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On National Philanthropy Day, there\u2019s plenty of room to recognize our own engaged Kalamazoo College communities such as the class of 1973. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":147,"featured_media":21138,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[232,3,231],"tags":[29,47],"post_formats":[],"class_list":["post-21137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alumni","category-news","category-students","tag-scholarships","tag-study-abroad"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.7 -
