"I believe that it is essential to interact directly with people of different nations and backgrounds in order to promote real understanding and cooperation amongst the world's diverse people. My time as a Fox International Fellow has enabled me to not only live and interact with Americans, but also with people from Europe and Asia. These experiences, I believe, will help me attain my future objective to contribute to leading the world toward a peaceful order through research and practice." Shinichiro Okushima, 2001-02, from the University of Tokyo to Yale
