Chinese New Year Festival




On Tuesday March 6, The Department of English and Modern Languages hosted a Chinese New Year Festival from 4 to 5:30pm in the Hoff Conference Rooms, Blum Student Union rooms 218-219.

Chinese Spring Festival, also referred to as Chinese New Year, is the grandest and the most important annual event for Chinese people and is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in the West. 2018 is the Year of the Dog according to Chinese zodiac.

This year, the event featured Chinese Calligraphy, lion dances, games and traditional dances and music. The event attracted a good crowd of students, faculty, staff and community members. The authentic Chinese food and snacks offered at the event were also a big incentive for people to attend.

We wish every one a happy Lunar New Year and a year of prosperity and happiness
