The new class includes 93 students from Japan and China. The students represent five different schools at Tokyo International University: language communication, international relations, human social sciences, economics, and business and communication. 

There are many ways to be involved with ASP this year, including joining students for Tuesday and Wednesday dinner and conversation, hosting students in the Tomodachi Program, and being a student worker. Job opportunities include international peer coaches, academic peer tutors, summer programming coordinators and international program assistants.
