Happy Lunar New Year!
Welcome to our Virtual Lunar New Year celebration for the UO community! We especially want to share our Lunar New Year wishes with our East and Southeast Asian alumni and current students, many of whom are unable to travel and celebrate as usual this year.
Whether you celebrate this festival as Lunar New Year, Spring Festival, Chinese New Year, Seollal, Tet, Losar, or Imlek – or you want to learn more about New Year celebrations in Asia – we hope you will join us in this small virtual celebration, where we will focus on the positive and invite good luck, prosperity, and well-being for the new year!
Live Panel Discussion Event with UO Faculty and Alumni
Join Professor Tuong Vu, head of the UO Political Science Department, Xiaobo Su, Professor of Geography, and UO alumni experts in international diplomacy, business, and academia for the Lunar New Year panel discussion, “Asia and the United States in the Biden Era.” The panel, which will include the opportunity for attendees to ask questions, will focus on areas of promise and opportunity between the U.S. and East Asian nations despite complex intra-regional dynamics and the United States’ challenges in redefining its international diplomacy values and mission.. There will be live question and answer as well as the opportunity for small group discussions afterward!
