Students respond to Qinghai quake
Correction Appended In response to the recent earthquake in the Qinghai province of China, Dartmouth students, faculty and members of the community have collectively raised more than $1,400 for various non-governmental organizations that are supporting the relief effort, according to Connie Hu '11 and anthropology professor Sienna Craig, who has served as an adviser to several clubs and student organizations involved in the effort. On April 14, a 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck Yushu County in the Qinghai province, killing 617 people by April 15, according to The New York Times. The earthquake struck two days before a Buddhism and Medicine seminar at Dartmouth, and Craig decided to use the event as a means of leveraging funds for the relief effort, she said.
