Over the past two weeks, numerous celebrations were held on campus to help usher in the Year of the Rabbit, which began Jan. 22 based on the lunar calendar.
Celebratory events were hosted by the Newhouse School and School of Architecture, in addition to two galas produced by student organizations and a special Orange After Dark co-hosted by Sigma Psi Zeta sorority and the Center for International Services. 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 some of the joy and expression of the holiday.
