New York Times: An ‘Old Men’s Club’ Dominates Japan. The Young Just Put Them on Notice.
Great to see alumnus Kaisei Sugawara '18 (International Relations) in a New York Times feature about the rising generation of young professionals in Japan. Kaisei is advancing quickly in his new role as an engineer at a security firm - a role for which he was recruited thanks in part to the international experience he got while studying at New Paltz. Read the full article, "An ‘Old Men’s Club’ Dominates Japan. The Young Just Put Them on Notice," at The New York Times. Photo by Noriko Hayashi for The New York Times.
