Earthquake relocates study abroad programs

By Gavin Huang | April 13, 2011

Unable to attend their foreign study programs after the 9.0-magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami in Japan, six students from Brown University and one student from Boston University traded in downtown Tokyo for Main Street, Hanover, and immersion classes for morning drill sessions this term. The six students from Brown James Almony, John Boeglin, Yea Eun Kwak, Ashley O'Neale, Jennifer Tanaka and Nicholas Varone and Boston University junior John Wolff have spent the last two weeks adjusting to Dartmouth after the March 11 earthquake caused a nuclear hazard near Tokyo, disrupting their plans to attend Keio University, Waseda University and Sophia University. Wolff said he was only given three days to make the decision to alter his study abroad trip and come to Dartmouth, and had to leave home almost immediately with only enough time to pack one suitcase. International affairs officers at Brown and Boston University contacted their counterparts at the College on March 11 about the possibility of taking in students from their schools for Spring term because Dartmouth's quarter system corresponded with the students' schedules, according to Lindsay Whaley, associate dean for international and interdisciplinary programs. Representatives from the Office of Residential Life, the Dean of the College's Office and the Off-Campus Programs Office met to determine the logistics of an arrangement with the two universities.
