The Lunar New Year is the most important celebration in many Asian countries. It is a 7-day holiday during which families meet together in their home towns and feast on special foods. Family and friends exchange good wishes for the coming year, shoot off fireworks, decorate with red decorations, and give red envelopes with money to the children. In the spirit of celebrating the Lunar New Year alongside our students, The Office of International Students & Visiting Scholars would like to invite everyone to wear red on Tuesday, Feb. 1. Ask your international students about the way their family celebrates the Lunar New Year!  The World Famous Bean will also be serving a variety of Asian dishes for lunch on 2/1 to celebrate the Lunar New Year! Hope you can plan to enjoy some great food and join in the celebration! This would be a great opportunity to invite some students to have lunch with you.
