She experienced what it is like to study in a university in the United States by joining classes, including BHLTH497/597: Stress, Resilience, and Mental Health in Healthcare, which Dr. Kosuke Niitsu, Associate Professor in the School of Nursing & Health Studies at UW Bothell, taught in the Winter 2026 quarter (Photo 1).

Sayaka had the opportunity to meet not only nursing students enrolled at UW Bothell but also nursing students enrolled at the Chang Gung University of Science & Technology (CGUST) as well. CGUST students prepared a list of questions and asked them to Sayaka in a press-conference style (Photo 3). Sayaka and CGUST students discussed a variety of issues, including the differences and similarities of nursing education and healthcare systems between Japan and Taiwan.

On Friday, February 27th, the 2026 UW Healthy Aging forum took place at UW Seattle. Sayaka joined this conference and learned about healthy aging from interdisciplinary experts. It served as an excellent opportunity for her to develop a professional network, including meeting with Dr. Hilaire Thompson, Dean of the School of Nursing at UW Seattle, and Dr. Basia Belza, Director of the de Tornyay Center for Healthy Aging and Professor in the School of Nursing at UW Seattle (Photo 4). While visiting UW, Sayaka also met Dr. Vanessa Lopez-Littleton, Dean of the School of Nursing & Health Studies at UW Bothell (Photo 5).

I learned not only about the impact of nursing on people, but also about how challenging, rewarding, and interesting it is to live and work in a diverse environment. This experience will help shape my future career and motivate me to continue pursuing my goals. I would like to sincerely thank all those involved in this program for making it possible.”
