TUJ's Bruce Stronach working hard to keep students and parents informed

Operations at dozens of colleges and universities across Japan have almost ground to a halt following Friday's huge earthquake and tsunami, which has left swathes of the eastern Pacific Coast in ruins. Bruce Stronach, dean of Temple University, Japan Campus, said he is working very hard to deal with calls and inquiries from worried parents abroad. "We spent the weekend ascertaining the whereabouts of all our students," he said. "We have checked the safety of our buildings and have been monitoring the events in Fukushima as well. The most important thing is keeping our students and their parents updated through the Web, Twitter, Facebook and e-mails."
