Students, researchers and laboratory staff members should reduce time spent in the labs and other research facilities, or consider working at home. If laboratory work is necessary, utmost care and attention to prevent the spread of infection should be exercised.

A guideline and check sheet regarding work in the laboratory has been distributed to all supervising professors. Students should discuss with their supervising professors the start date for laboratory work. Working/activity time in the school must be recorded.

The School of Engineering will continue to requests of companies that interviews be conducted remotely for the time being, etc.
We suppose that you will may be requested to travel to other prefectures for job interviews, etc. However, there is a serious risk to your health care and further spread of infection. This is not only your problem and must consider the possibility of infecting surrounding people.

Tohoku University is concerned for students that are living alone during this unstable situation. Every undergraduate freshman has an advising professor in each major department in order to consult various matters such as university life, future plan, study. Please communicate with the advising professor and share your concerns and thoughts proactively. For those who transferred to our graduate school, we strongly recommend to share information with the supervising professor and lab mates regularly via internet or email.

Furthermore, the Student Peer Support System is starting from June so that the new students are able to communicating with older students in the same major department. The detailed information will be provided by the advising professor.

The School of Engineering has several counseling services for students who have worries, concerns and anxieties.
