Sponsored by the Chinese Student Union and the Center for International and Intercultural Studies, the fifth-annual New Year’s event will feature food, traditional and modern Chinese dance, games, a raffle, and the opportunity to learn more about Chinese culture.

There also will be information about St. Lawrence’s study abroad offerings in China and Project Pengyou, a U.S.-China leadership training summit for college students.
