POTSDAM -- One of Clarkson University’s study-abroad partners, Kyushu University in Japan, is sending a group of students here for the week of Jan. 30 to observe and participate in the university’s FIRST Robotics activities, as well as to begin collaborating with U.S. students on an upcoming competition in Japan.

In return, Kyushu University will be providing a partial scholarship for three to four CU students to go abroad and compete in a Micro-Mechanisms Contest this March against other international universities.
