The FGL Community Newsletter is written and put together by students in the FGL program here at Tohoku University and features news, events, information and highlights of their activities for the season. In the newsletter for this spring we learn about the demands of early graduation, the myriad flower viewing opportunities in Japan (it's not just for sakura!), what brought Engineering professor Andrea Vergara to Tohoku University, and of course the return of the barbeque season where FGL students met up to share company and food. Check out the quarterly newsletter to learn more about the FGL program, the latest news on FGL sponsored events and activities, and of course the culture of Tohoku and Japan through the eyes of the FGL student body.
