2024 Lunar New Year Celebrations in Photos

Lunar New Year—sometimes also known as Chinese New Year or the Spring Festival—began earlier this month on Feb. 10. Events have occurred on campus over the last several weeks to usher in the Year of the Dragon.

Celebrations were hosted by the Newhouse School, School of Architecture and Orange After Dark/the Center for International Services. Additionally, the Asian American Journalists Association, Chinese Students and Scholars Association and Chinese Union hosted a dinner and two galas. The events presented the opportunity to share Chinese culture—including performance arts, cuisine and time-honored traditions—with the entire campus community. The photos below capture the essence and celebratory nature of the holiday.
