First KEEP Intern Since 2019 Selected

For the first time since before the global COVID-19 pandemic began, a Berea College student will intern at the Kiyosato Educational Experiment Project (KEEP) in Berea’s sister region of Hokuto-shi, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan.  Asian Studies minor and Political Science major Matthew McCandless, who plans to graduate in December 2023, will be the first intern at KEEP from Berea since summer 2019.  We are excited about Matthew’s upcoming adventure and grateful to our partners at KEEP as well as the American Committee for KEEP for making it possible!
