Bitter Interim Dean, College of Arts & Sciences Professor of History University of Hawai’i at Hilo Welcome to the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo! We are very pleased to host the 2020 Hawai‘i International Conference on English Language and Literature Studies. With one hundred and fifty participants from fifteen countries, the outstanding diversity of this conference aligns with our status as the most diverse campus among U.S. universities. And, just as our location in the center of the Pacific region encourages our University to act as a bridge between cultures, we applaud the fact that this Conference brings together specialists in English Language and Literature Studies from around the world to discuss new trends in research and pedagogy. In today’s globalized and interconnected world, the type of collaboration encouraged by this conference is particularly useful and increasingly necessary to our professional growth and to the success of those we teach. While technology provides us with a wide variety of collaborative tools, the value of face-to-face interaction in a focused conference setting persists as a fundamental aspect of academic life across disciplines. The presentations, questions, and discussions you encounter here will, no doubt, influence the course of your own research, writing, and instruction going forward. This influence has the potential to benefit not only your career and your students, but the field of English Language and Literature Studies as a whole. Our hope is that the setting of our campus will allow each of you to derive the maximum benefit from your participation in this gathering. We welcome you to Hilo and hope you have an enjoyable and very productive conference! 6 0 03/13-14/202033/9/2020 HICELLS 2020 03/13-14/2020 Kirsten Møllegaard, Ph.D. Chair, English Department Professor of English University of Hawaii at Hilo Aloha delegates of the Hawai'i International Conference on English Language and Literature Studies.

    FY2019 Results of Accreditation

    Results of Accreditations Performed by the Japan University Accreditation Association April 10, 2020 Introduction In 2002, the Certified Evaluation and Accreditation System was introduced in Japan (enforced in 2004), obligating all higher education institutions (universities, junior colleges and technical colleges) to undergo an evaluation once every 7 years, and all professional graduate schools to undergo an evaluation once every 5 years as well. In each case, the evaluating agency certified by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) conducts the evaluation process, comprehensively assessing the level of education, and other areas. Since its establishment in 1947, the Japan University Accreditation Association (JUAA) has played a significant role in assuring the quality of higher education. On August 31, 2004, the JUAA was authorized by the Minister of MEXT as the first Certified Evaluation and Accreditation Agency for universities. Authorization for its Certified Evaluation and Accreditation later expanded to several other fields. The JUAA currently performs Certified Evaluation and Accreditation in 11 fields (university, junior college, law school, professional graduate business school, professional graduate public policy school, professional graduate school of public health, professional graduate school of intellectual property studies, professional graduate school of global communications, professional graduate school of digital contents, professional graduate school of global legal studies, and professional graduate school of public relations) and the accreditation for school of veterinary medicine. JUAA has just finalized the results of accreditations for FY 2019 as follows. FY 2019 University Accreditation (Certified Evaluation and Accreditation for University) Results On accepting applications for University Accreditation from 30 universities, the JUAA has undertaken the evaluative process.
