Greetings, ’03s.

News is in short supply this go around. I hope everyone is enjoying the start of spring. I’ll be up in Hanover this month for the Dartmouth College Fund committee meeting; it’s always nice to be back on campus.

A Dartmouth news release featuring Kjell Ericson caught my attention. Kjell is teaching a course on premodern Japanese at Kyoto University to Dartmouth students in the first Japan advanced language study abroad (LSA+) program since the pandemic began. While at Dartmouth Kjell participated in the same LSA+. Kjell is an assistant professor at Kyoto University and will soon be working on a project examining the trade in live seed oysters between Japan and the U.S. Pacific Northwest. How fun to teach the same LSA+ you attended, Kjell, hope you are enjoying the experience.

That’s all folks. Send me news for next time at the email below.
