This is a wonderful opportunity to:
- learn or practice origami crane folding,
- take part in a meaningful act of remembrance, and
- connect with friends while contributing to a global memorial project.
No experience with origami? No problem! We have so many students who are excited to share their origami skills.
All materials and Japanese snacks will be provided. (Funding generously supported by the Department of East Asian Languages, Literatures, and Cultures.)

Our cranes will be submitted as part of the international 1000-crane project organized in partnership with Randolph-Macon College and the University of Alaska Anchorage โ a project honoring lives lost and celebrating the bonds between Japan and the global community. If interested, you can also read about Taylor Anderson, a Virginia native and JET ALT whose life was tragically lost during the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake.
We hope you will join us to fold cranes together and be part of this meaningful tradition.
Looking forward to seeing many of you there!
