About a dozen students were honored at a Coming of Age Day ceremony at Everett Community College.

About 50 people attended the campus event, which had Japanese snacks, raffle prizes and a kimono demonstration. Some of the students who received Coming of Age certificates shared their aspirations.
Other international students were invited to join the campus ceremony.
“Everybody was welcome,” said Miki Aspree, Nippon Business Institute & Japanese Programs center director. “The main thing is for people to enjoy the day and experience it.”
