More than 100 individuals, spanning both The University of Scranton and Greater Scranton communities, gathered in Brennan Hall’s Rose Room on Feb. 19 to celebrate the Lunar New Year.
Hosted by the Asian studies program and the Department of World Languages and Cultures, the festive event featured Asian cuisine, cultural presentations and hands-on activities including a lively chopstick relay, horse-themed origami, calligraphy and lantern decorating.
Ann A. Pang-White, Ph.D., professor of philosophy and director of the Asian studies program, noted that volunteers from the Asia Club and Japanese and Chinese classes arrived at 5 p.m. for setup. The event began at 6:30 p.m.
“It is a selfless service for others,” Dr. Pang-White said.
The festivities also included Chih-Yi (Arena) Wu and Kazumasa Fujita, instructors in the Department of World Languages and Cultures, leading presentations and workshops that “captured the audience’s attention and made the evening a great success,” Dr. Pang-White said.
