By AMELIA ACOSTA and SOUMYA GUPTA | April 19, 2011

While members of the Dartmouth community have come together twice in the past two years to respond to major natural disasters the 2010 Haiti earthquake and the Japan earthquake and tsunami last month the College's response to the situation in Japan has been more limited than its response to Haiti's crisis due to logistical challenges, according to Presidential Fellow Molly Bode '09, a coordinator and advisor for both relief efforts. "The main difference we have seen so far between the situations in Haiti and Japan is that Dartmouth had a connection to an on-the-ground non-governmental organization in Haiti, but we did not have that connection in Japan," Bode said.
