HOUGHTON -- In response to the recent earthquake that struck the province of Sichuan in China, Michigan Tech's Chinese Students and Scholars Association (CSSA), with International Programs and Services, will hold a candlelight vigil at noon on Tuesday, May 20, in front of the Memorial Union Building on the MTU campus.
This earthquake has demolished villages, brought death and injury to thousands of people and left thousands without shelter.
CSSA has established a special relief account at Wells Fargo Bank titled "2008 Earthquake Donation." CSSA is also collecting donations. For more information, contact Chao Zhong, CSSA vice president, at czhong@mtu.edu. Visit the CSSA Web site for details on how to donate.
On the Web site also is a letter from MTU student Ling Guo, who went back to her hometown Chengdu and experienced the earthquake on May 12, 2008.
The candlelight vigil is co-sponsored by a number of Black student organizations, including the Black Students Association, the National Society of Black Engineers and others.
