COLA graduate Aidan Alldridge ’26 is headed to Japan
Aidan has been awarded a highly competitive position as a Coordinator for International Relations through the JET Program, where CIRs support internationalization efforts, translation, interpretation, and cross-cultural exchange in Japan. CIR positions require a high degree of Japanese fluency and make up less than 10% of JET participants.
This achievement reflects Aidan’s hard work, skill, and strong interdisciplinary preparation in Japanese and Business.
Congratulations, Aidan! COLA is proud to celebrate your extraordinary work and this exciting next step. We also recognize the dedicated faculty in Applied Modern Language and Culture–Japanese, whose teaching and mentorship continue to support students of Japanese language and culture across RIT.
