A senior in the Department of Civil Engineering and Geological Sciences, Meghan Myers spent the summer between her sophomore and junior year in Japan as part of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program at Notre Dame. As an REU, Meghan worked in the Earthquake Engineering Laboratory developing a program called "Shakes and Quakes," an outreach program for local elementary and middle school students. During the two weeks she was in Japan, Meghan traveled to six different cities, toured the Akashi Kaikyo bridge, Landmark Tower, Nojima fault, and earthquake laboratory facilities at Kyoto University. She also participated in two symposiums, something usually reserved for faculty and graduate students. Check out Meghan's work on "Shakes and Quakes" at http://www.nd.edu/~eeriund/shakes.html.
