PR

KTC is unique in that they have an amazing English program and native English professors in their engineering classes.  Since they are a private school, they have to advertise to entice new students into applying.  Because of these two facts, they put out a lot of PR with the foreign staff showcased.  Recently, we had an Open Campus that included hands-on projects highlighting the foreign staff.  For this, they animated us and put us on a billboard in front of the school to advertise.  There were also fliers with the same animations on them.  The teachers are describing what they'll be teaching; mine was a bit difficult to describe, or got lost in translation, so it just says to wait and see.

We're also all in a big billboard advertising KTC to anyone who passes by:

There's a big page in the school catalog showcasing all of the foreign engineering teachers.  There are about three other pictures of me throughout the catalog, all working with students on their various projects.  We had a fun modeling session for this one, posing in many different ways for the camera, and were asked to write a short motivational blurb to go with it.  I thought they'd be translating them into Japanese, but apparently they left them in English. 

There's also a really interesting pamphlet that's designed to introduce interested students to the English curriculum and opportunities at KTC.  In this, you follow an animated boy through his years at KTC, going to America and New Zealand while working on projects and learning up through graduation and a good job.  I can't read it all yet, but it's pretty obvious what's going on from the pictures:
