Following Japan’s horrific earthquake and tsunami disasters, both Otago Polytechnic and
the University of Otago are offering full pastoral support to all of their Japanese students.
Supportive emails were sent to all Japanese students studying at the University of Otago
as well as to those students on exchange in Japan. Otago University International pro-vice-chancellor Sarah Todd told the Otago Daily Times that all exchange students studying in Japan were believed to be safe. All Japanese students in need of further support are invited to visit the University’s international office.
Otago Polytechnic is offering similar support to its forty Japanese students who graduated on Friday.
