JSA and Anime Club
UM’s Japanese Student Association (JSA) and Anime Club are among the most active popular clubs on campus, and work closely with the Japanese section to promote knowledge of and interest in Japanese studies. A perfect place to meet people who share a common interest in Japan and Japanese culture, as well as Japanese exchange students studying at UM, each group runs activities such as conversation tables, anime screenings and discussion, cultural exchange workshops and outreach activities in the local community. For more information, please consult their Facebook pages: Japanese Student Association and The University of Montana's Anime Club.
