Today we are all Japanese

Japan has suffered an enormous tragedy as a result of a tsunami that has caused hundreds (and perhaps more) deaths and untold devastation, especially in the northern part of the country.

The University of Denver Sturm College of Law Environmental and Natural Resources Law & Policy Program has benefited from students, including a current student, from Japan. These individuals are respected and loved members of our larger community. As a community our combined hearts go out to the many thousands of Japanese who are faced with difficult days ahead.

We grieve for our friends and colleagues who have uncertain days ahead.

Today we are all Japanese.
