In May 2008, the Wenchuan earthquake struck the area around Chengdu in Sichuan Province, China, causing enormous loss of life, injuries and infrastructure damage, and severely affecting the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. The State University of New York, strongly supported by Governor David Paterson, has made the extraordinary gesture of welcoming 150 university students from Sichuan Province, to study at 22 campuses of the University at no charge for the coming academic year. As expressed by Governor Paterson, our mutual goal is to "provide these students with valuable leadership training to prepare them to return to China to assist with rebuilding efforts in the aftermath of the earthquake".
