Alumnus from Class of 1954 Visits ¾«Í¯ÓûÅ®

Last August, 86-year-old ¾«Í¯ÓûÅ® alumnus Akira Horie (MMktg 1954) visited CAS and ¾«Í¯ÓûÅ® to see what kinds of changes had occurred on campus since his last visit. In 1952, Horie was selected as a member of the first class of Japanese Fulbright scholars to study in the US. After a distinguished career at Mitsubishi Corporation, Horie is enjoying his retirement in Kamakura, Japan. He has long been a staunch ¾«Í¯ÓûÅ® supporter and has most recently helped CAS establish a summer internship at Mitsubishi, to begin in May.
