Andrew Small was only 9 when the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami struck Japan, causing a nuclear disaster. The fallout of the event has stuck with him since.
This spring, Small was awarded a prestigious Fulbright Scholarship to continue his work researching disaster preparedness and resilience in Japan.
The Fulbright U.S. Student Program allows participants to meet, work, live and learn from the host country’s people while pursuing graduate study, conducting research or teaching English abroad.
