Local NBC TV affiliate KARE 11 visited campus Friday to interview Mami Yamamura, an exchange student who is attending St. Olaf from Japan. Reporter Kyle Porter asked Yamamura how her family is faring after the recent disaster. She said her parents are safe in Nagoya, but that they had not yet heard from her grandmother in eastern Japan.

Yamamura has since learned that her grandmother is OK.
