As presented in the Business Meeting at the NCA 100th

annual conference in Chicago on November 22, JUCA was

on the verge of extinction, as the NCA headquarters

were deliberating as to whether the interest groups

and divisions would qualify to be re-affiliated with

the national organization. Well, we have just received

an official word stating that the JUCA has been approved

as a group affiliated with NCA.

We thank Ed McDaniel and Koji Fuse for the hard work

they have done to make this happen. The JUCA will

not only survive but grow to be a truly international

academic organization that serves students, educators,

and scholars interested in and dedicated to the study

in Japan-U.S. communication.
