Japanese National Honor Society

The Japanese National Honor Society- College Chapter (JNHS-CC) recognizes and encourages scholastic achievement and excellence in the study of the Japanese language. The Association of Teachers of Japanese (ATJ) is pleased to assist teachers with a way to recognize their outstanding students, to maintain high standards in Japanese language education, and to promote activities that give students ways to use their language skills on their campuses and in their communities. Students who are nominated for membership receive Certificates of Excellence and red-and-white cords to wear at graduation, and are recognized on the ATJ website and in its newsletter.
