National Advisory Committees

The Korea-America Student Conference (KASC) and Japan-America Student Conference (JASC) have National Advisory Committees (NACs) consisting of professors at institutions of higher education throughout the United States. The U.S. Ambassadors to Korea and Japan are also members, as are the Ambassador of Japan and Ambassador of Korea to the United States.

NAC members play an important role in supporting KASC and JASC. They encourage students to apply, help obtain scholarship support, promote the programs, and advise and support American Executive Committee members from their own or nearby universities.

Universities of NAC members are encouraged to host JASC and KASC during years when Conferences take place in the U.S. or for the American Orientation. This role could involve seeking financial support and speaking with Student Delegates at the Conferences.
