After finishing the Japanese Option at LaGuardia, Ed went on to continue learning Japanese and East Asian culture at Queens College with a minor in Linguistics. After graduating from Queens College, Ed returned to LaGuardia as a Japanese language tutor in the Modern Language Lab.

During this talk, Ed will discuss his experience at LaGuardia (as both a student and a tutor), the JET program, and how he prepared his application for the JET program.\n<li>Inquiries: Tomonori Nagano (718-482-5484 or tnagano@lagcc.cuny.edu)\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"margin: auto;text-align: center\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/chrysanthemum.commons.gc.cuny.edu\/files\/2023\/04\/LAGCC_ProjectConexionIG2023LaGuardiaAlumnusJETWorkshopSpring2023.pdf\" title=\"LAGCC_ProjectConexionIG2023LaGuardiaAlumnusJETWorkshopSpring2023.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chrysanthemum.commons.gc.cuny.edu\/files\/2023\/04\/LAGCC_ProjectConexionIG2023LaGuardiaAlumnusJETWorkshopSpring202300.jpg\" alt=\"LAGCC ProjectConexionIG2023LaGuardiaAlumnusJETWorkshopSpring202300\" title=\"LAGCC_ProjectConexionIG2023LaGuardiaAlumnusJETWorkshopSpring202300.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"400\" height=\"518\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<p>The recording of this event is now avaialble at <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/E7Ur6REnvHM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/E7Ur6REnvHM<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 50%;margin: auto;text-align: center\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"LaGuardia Japanese Program Alumni Voice: Ed Agosto\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/E7Ur6REnvHM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Japan Studies Program is pleased to host this virtual workshop by Mr. Ed Agosto, an alumnus of Japanese Option at LaGuardia Community College, who has been recently accepted to the JET Programme.
