这里的中国学生真的很赞,有个自己打餐馆工付州外学费的同学,捐了$200,她并没有亲人在四川,还有个同学昨天捐了,今天又捐第二次,也没有亲人在四川

这次TAMU和CSSA的表现,我不得不赞一个。

To the Aggie Family:

By now, I believe that most of you are aware of the devastating natural disasters that recently have impacted Myanmar and China. While there are no currently enrolled students from Myanmar attending Texas A&M, we are proud to have more than 700 currently enrolled students, as well as a number of former students, faculty, staff, and visiting scholars from China, many of whom have family and friends impacted by this tragedy.

The earthquake in China is the worst such natural disaster to hit that country in 30 years. And most of us can only imagine how difficult it is to be far away from home when such tragedies strike. In addition to the impact of this tragedy on members of the Aggie Family, the university’s friendship and numerous partnerships with the Chinese people deepen our concern. We remember well our own, not too distant, struggles with Hurricanes Rita and Katrina, and we remember the help and support of the Chinese faculty, students, and scholars, and many other international groups on campus, who volunteered alongside their fellow Aggies during those relief efforts.

The Chinese Students and Scholars Association, the International Programs for Students and our newly formed Confucius Institute are co-hosting a candlelight memorial and donation drive to help the China earthquake victims Saturday evening at 7:30 p.m. at Rudder Fountain. I encourage you to attend and show your support for this important effort. If you desire additional information about relief efforts led by our Chinese Student and Scholar Association, go to http://cssa.tamu.edu/.

Chinese students who need assistance during this difficult time are urged to contact the Student Counseling Center or the International Student Services Office. Faculty and staff should contact the Employee Assistance Program.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those impacted by this terrible tragedy.

家园 校长发公开信后,ISS也迅速跟进

刚收到的:

If you have received this e-mail, you are listed in our records as being an international student from China.

Please accept our deepest sympathies on behalf of International Programs and Texas A&M University for the terrible tragedy of the earthquake that has devastated Sichuan and caused so much sorrow in the lives of people there. We know that this is keenly felt throughout China, and throughout the world by those Chinese who live abroad, like you, and by the many friends of the Chinese people. We grieve with you for the loved ones who been lost and the lives that have been forever changed by this disaster.

We are also worried about you. While school is not in session right now, we know that this tragedy has impacted our Chinese students. It is never easy to be so far from home when something like this happens. We urge you to find comfort in conversations with friends and in actions that can help those at home. By now, you probably know that the Chinese Students and Scholars Association has partnered with the Chinese Consulate in Houston to collect donations for the relief efforts. If you want to help with that, you can contact CSSA through their website http://cssa.tamu.edu.

In addition CSSA, the Confucius Institute, and International Programs for Students have partnered to create a Candlelight Vigil for the victims of this tragedy. It will take place on Saturday, May 17, at 7:30 p.m. in the Rudder Tower Fountain area near the Memorial Student Center (MSC). You are invited to join us in this very special ceremony to honor those who have lost their lives, been injured, or lost their homes, and to stand together in the united hope that many others may still be rescued.

If any of you are experiencing financial difficulty due to this tragedy, please send an e-mail to [email protected] with the subject line "Chinese student assistance" and we will contact you to see what options may be available to help you.

In addition, the Student Counseling Center has asked that we share the following information with you and your families.

Sincerely,

Suzanne Droleskey

Executive Director, International Programs for Students

For Anyone Impacted by the China Earthquake*

Disasters can make us all feel vulnerable, whether we are impacted directly or indirectly. Events such as earthquakes can seem to have no rhyme or reason as to how they start and the damage they can inflict upon people's property and their lives. Common feelings and reactions:

* Loss. We may experience the loss directly or indirectly. Sometimes one loss can remind us of other losses that we have had.

* Lack of control. Part of what makes all disasters so unnerving is they reveal our limitations as human beings. Despite our best human efforts, natural disasters can and do escape our ability to control them and the damage they can do. Innocent people can get hurt, property is destroyed, beautiful areas are ruined, and we can feel helpless.

* Emotional overload. We might be feeling like we can't catch our breath between disasters. We may find ourselves moody, irritable impatient or have difficulty concentrating. These are all normal reactions to catastrophic events.

* Fear of additional destruction. We don't know what will happen next, so we are in a state of alert.

* Uncertainty. We don't know when this situation will be contained, or if other disasters loom on the horizon; and if we are relocated, we don't know when we can return, and what may be facing us when we do. If we are assisting others, the indefinite nature of this event can also be stressful.

* Trauma associated with seeing so much destruction so close at hand. Seeing the tremendous destructive power of earthquakes and the possibility of being in harm's way can be very disturbing.

* Feelings that there should have been some way to prevent such a disaster from happening.

* Media coverage. When we view and review the damage repeatedly, we can all be impacted by the disaster.

Student Counseling Service at Texas A&M University is here to help. Should you wish to talk to someone, we are in Cain Hall. Please come to 103 B Cain or call us at 845-4427 to talk to someone.

If you need us to come to speak to you as a group, please also let us know. We encourage impacted students to use Counseling Services. Service is free for students.

*Above handouts are given to students who are affected in California State University, East Bay.
