The Fuchinobe international dormitory 第一国際寮

Obirin Gakuen Foundation of America’s (OGFA’s) purpose is to further cultural and educational understanding among the peoples of the Pacific Rim, especially in North America and Japan's J.F. Oberlin University, and to foster in students and others, a mutual appreciation of one another's cultures, especially varying global perspectives on the arts, social issues, the environment, and lifestyles. OGFA enables students and others from the Pacific Rim to develop the skills that will empower them to play a positive role in today's increasingly complex and international world.

Beginning with the Japanese flag, this logo is inspired by the idea that the future of Japan invites a relationship with the global community and that their young people are “global citizens.” The foundation's goal is to foster understanding and exchange experiences for students in Japan, the Pacific Rim, and the United States which are reflected in this mark. The individual elements make up a greater unified whole; and secondly, the elemental variety speaks to an understanding of the value of diversity.
