Faculty, Staff, and Students from UNC-Chapel Hill's Department of Asian Studies gathered Friday, Nov. 22 to celebrate the leadership, teaching, scholarship, and friendship of Professor Emerita Jan Bardsley, who retired from UNC in June 2019.

The event began with Consul General Kazuyuki Takeuchi from the Atlanta Consulate of Japan presenting Professor Bardsley with a commendation for her remarkable career in higher education and service to Japanese-American relations. This was followed by a playful “Jan-ecdote” quiz in which we shared memories of working with Jan over the years. Professor Emeritus Miles Fletcher read a Doggerel Ode that he composed in celebration of Professor Bardsley, and the event closed with a music performance by Professors Afroz Taj and John Caldwell.

Japanese Language Sensei Yuki Aratake, Fumi Iwashita, Yuko Kato, and Katsu Sawamura presented Jan with a lovely scroll with the characters, "Appreciation."
