In April 2024, Boise State faculty and research staff members arrived in Japan just in time to experience both blooming cherry blossoms and snowfall. They visited five universities and industry members of the UPWARDS for the Future program.
During this visit, Boise State’s personnel attended special tours of UPWARDS partner universities, namely Tohoku University, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Nagoya University, Kyushu University and Hiroshima University. The group also visited industry partner sites.
