The JCMU Melville Endowed Scholarship Fund has been established to honor and remember the contributions of Harold Melville, late Shiga University Faculty member and JCMU visiting lecturer. Harold Melville is remembered for the difference he made in the lives of hundreds of young people and the example he set for cultural understanding. As the liaison for students, visiting scholars, faculty and staff at the Japan Center for Michigan Universities (JCMU) Mel was the ultimate guide, helping program participants engage in the Hikone community and make the transition from life in the United States to life in Japan.
