California State  University system is planning to begin conferring honorary degrees on all Japanese Americans whose college education at CSU campuses ended when internment began during World War II. At present, we are looking for several individuals, or families of individuals, who would be willing to share a bit of their personal stories in material we will put together to help us get the word out to everyone who might qualify for these honorary degrees. It is possible these degrees will also be offered to CSU students who chose to join the military, and therefore were not interned.
