The Chinese Language Program held a Lantern Festival celebration on February 14th, 2025. Traditionally, people celebrate the festival by holding a lantern and eating tang yuan (glutinous rice balls). Students participated in a variety of fun activities, including decorating paper lanterns, playing ping pong, picking up M&Ms with chopsticks, and competing in 3-legged races. Tang yuan was cooked on site and everyone enjoyed the rice balls with black sesame paste and peanut butter. This event was sponsored by the Taiwan BEST grant and EAS.
