Jay Ellis, EALC B.A., Japanese, 2010

With so many Asian cultures converging on the Pacific Northwest, I often am able to utilize my knowledge of Asian history, art, and literature to connect with so many people every day.

"After graduating with a degree in East Asian Languages & Cultures, a degree in Journalism, and a Master's degree in Social Work Administration, I am now working in healthcare administration. I am the Director of the Sleep Disorder's Center at Harrison Medical Center and Practice Administrator at Kitsap Pulmonary & Sleep Medicine in the greater Seattle metro area. With so many Asian cultures converging on the Pacific Northwest, I often am able to utilize my knowledge of Asian history, art, and literature to connect with so many people every day. Still today, I look back at my four years at KU in EALC department with fondness, joy and great memories."
