IMPORTANT NOTICE concerning the Great Northeastern Japan Earthquake & Tsunami

Great Northeastern Japan Earthquake & Tsunami

As the world knows, on March 11, 2011, Northeastern Japan was hit with one of the biggest earthquakes and resulting tsunami in recorded history. Sendai University is located fairly close to some of the severely affected areas, but the university did not suffer any major damage. Some minor repairs to university facilities were necessary, and those were successfully completed within a few weeks of the earthquake. Classes and all school activities have resumed as normal.

volunteers from the university have gone out to coastal communities to help clean schools The Sendai University students, staff and faculty soon after the earthquake and tsunami turned their attention to helping others who suffered serious property damage. Every week since the disaster hundreds of volunteers from the university have gone out to coastal communities to help clean schools, public facilities and private homes which were deluged by the tsunami. These weekly efforts to help those most in need will continue indefinitely. The seriously affected areas will need years to rebuild, and Sendai University is determined to help in that rebuilding process.
