A visiting geography professor at SWUST that spring semester, I was in my campus apartment in a four-story building containing eight units when the earthquake hit about 66 miles southwest of the university.
Since the earthquake, SWUST has received almost $90 million in grants for rebuilding.
"No matter where I am, I am afraid of unexpected shakes now, such as the shake of the road produced by heavily weighted trucks," Duo Liu, a former SWUST computer science instructor, wrote me in April.
