China Earthquake Relief Information
The University of Michigan community is saddened by the news regarding the recent earthquake in Sichuan, China on May 12, 2008. As U-M alumni and friends in China may have already learned, the U-M Center for Chinese Studies has been actively involved in encouraging support for the victims, as well as industriously searching for information about the well-being of students and faculty who may have been in the affected area.
Its actions have included extensive communication within the community about how to provide for financial support through relief agencies and efforts such as Pledgebank and the Red Cross Society of China as well as posting information provided by the National Committee on US-China Relations about many more organizations accepting donations.
A joint effort by the Institute of Space and Earth Information Science of the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the U-M China Data Center has created a web site as a preliminary effort to give an initial assessment on the current and potential impacts of the earthquake: http://www.iseis.cuhk/gb/special/sichuan.htm
We are aware, also, that the School of Social Work, through the efforts of Assoc. Professor Lydia Li, is recruiting volunteers from campus to assist in the aftermath of the disaster as well as calls by School of Public Health Dean Ken Warner to encourage expertise and support, among others.
At last report the one U-M student known to be in the affected area at the time of the earthquake has been found safe.
The Center for Chinese Studies, and its director, Mary Gallagher, welcome your support and are available for further information.
