When Temple University Japan (TUJ) was established in 1982, its primary objective was to advance the mission of international higher education. However, at the time of its founding, the university had limited connections to Japan or any other Asian country. Over four decades later, TUJ has successfully overcome numerous challenges and has emerged as the sole American university campus in Japan. This achievement has earned the university legitimacy and widespread respect as an international institution of higher education.
In "The History of Temple University Japan," two former deans of TUJ, Richard Joslyn and Bruce Stronach, delve into the creation, development, and maturation of the university. They present a comprehensive case study that explores how Temple University successfully established an overseas branch campus. The authors recount the evolution of the academic program, the recruitment of students, and the unwavering support provided by Temple that facilitated curricular and pedagogical enhancements. They also discuss the university's partnerships with three Japanese partners and the financial threats and crises TUJ faced throughout its existence.
"The History of Temple University Japan" serves as a valuable documentation of TUJ's journey, as well as a chronicle of U.S.-Japanese relations. What emerges from the book is the profound impact TUJ has had on the thousands of students, faculty, and staff who have been a part of this international academic institution. The university's commitment to excellence, diversity, and global engagement has not only enriched the lives of its students but also contributed to the broader understanding and cooperation between the United States and Japan.
In conclusion, "The History of Temple University Japan" is a must-read for anyone interested in the history, development, and achievements of TUJ. The book provides a deep insight into the university's journey and showcases its remarkable resilience and success in establishing an international campus that has become a symbol of academic excellence and cultural exchange.
