SIPR connects Indiana and Japan


The Sagamore Institute for Policy Research reports that Senior Fellow Larry Ingraham led a business/academic delegation to the Tochigi Prefecture of Japan from 1-11 March, featuring Dr. Earl Brooks, president of Tri-State University in Angola, Indiana, and Mike Bock, vice president of Tri-State University.

The purpose of the trip was to sign an agreement with Hakuoh University for future student and faculty exchanges. The trio also met with government officials to market Tri-State.

Ingraham reports that Brooks has offered a $10,000 per year scholarship to all Tochigi residents who choose Tri-State.

In late March, Ingraham returned to Japan to shepherd a business/government delegation from Delaware County, which was led by Muncie Mayor Dan Canan. The purpose of the trip was to market the region to future Japanese investment.
