Mt. Fuji Overseas Program

Konnichiwa! Welcome to my site. This summer, a group of  Lewis & Clark students led by Professors Andy Bernstein and Liz Safran will embark on a seven week overseas program. We will focus on cultural, historical, geological and environmental aspects of Mount Fuji by meeting with experts, assisting with research, and summiting the volcano itself. I’ll be posting updates throughout the program, so feel free to follow along!

Follow my posts here.
