Scripps College recently received a $100,000 grant from Aoki Corp., the Tokyo-based parent company of Westin Hotels and Resorts.
The grant, the first made by the corporation to a U.S. college, will support lectures by American and Japanese scholars and artists, exhibits of Japanese art, and other programs related to Japanese art and culture.
Aoki and Scripps College will also establish an exchange program in which female employees of the firm will study at Scripps for a semester and Scripps students will be interns with the corporation.
