October 1, 2015 by Katie Russell

Ambassador Kenichiro Sasae of Japan and his wife Nobuko recently hosted a special Tribute Dinner at their residence honoring International Student House of Washington, DC and the recipients of our 2015 Global Leadership Awards.  We are deeply grateful for Ambassador and Mrs. Sasae’s gracious hospitality.  In addition to our honorees and the major sponsors for the Awards Dinner, which will be held on Thursday, October 22, the evening included four Members of Congress and their spouses.
