NCKU Offers Aid to Students Under Japanese Earthquake Impact
Tainan, Taiwan, March 14th, 2011
Responding to the recent major earthquake and tsunami in northeastern Japan, National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Tainan, Taiwan, grasped first-hand information of its international and exchange students and offered special assistance.
On March 14th, NCKU Dean of Students Affairs Chii-Jeng Lin and dozens of teachers and students joined hands together in the opening ceremony of 2011 NCKU International Cultural and Food Festival to pray for the well-being of Japan.
“With the personnel from Office of International Affairs on 24-hour standby, we have the latest first-hand information of our international and exchange students,” said NCKU Vice President Huey-Jen Su in an interview with the reporters.
According to Vice President Su, the university currently has three exchange students studying at Tohoku University, two students at Osaka University and five students at Chiba University. Students studying at Osaka University and Chiba University are both safe and sound, and students at Tohoku University were either in the United States or Tokyo during the crisis and thus unaffected.
In addition to maintaining close contacts with the students, NCKU offers relief funds of NT$50,000 maximum and part-time job opportunities to international students who are economically affected by disasters or family misfortune.
