It has been more than a month since a massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake hit Chile, where Stanford's Bing Overseas Studies Program (BOSP) has a center in Santiago. Irene Kennedy, executive director of BOSP, talks about the conditions at the center and what Stanford learned from the experience. Everything is in pretty good shape. We had a seismic engineer look at the center. There was no structural damage. There were superficial cracks that are now being fixed. So, students will be studying there this quarter.
