Engage in Dialogue about the Disaster in Japan: World Affairs Colloquium 16 March in the CLLC

Wednesday, March 16 · 1:00pm - 3:00pm
Location: Champlain Living Learning Commons
Organized by: Linh Tran Thi Thuy

The world’s focus is now on Japan, where a massive 8.9/9.0 magnitude earthquake and 10m tsunami hit the North Eastern part of the country at around 3:00pm local time on March 11. The earthquake and tsunami has caused an estimated death toll of 10,000 people and left thousands of others homeless. In response to the Japanese quake and so many other natural disasters that have been happening around the world in recent years, Trent World Affairs Colloquium is organizing a talk with Professor Michal Avram and Trent Japanese students on how governments, international organizations and local people are dealing with natural disasters in both developing countries and developed countries. Come to Champlain Living Learning Commons this Wednesday (March 16) from 1-3pm to learn more!
