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.
