This year’s Lunar New Year celebration at Lehigh was organized by students of Asian Cultural Society (ACS). Participating student clubs brought food and traditional dishes, and each group had a chance to talk about what the foods represent in their countries. "It's a very important celebration because it gives the students memories and gives them a sense of home. And when they take part in the eating of certain foods and certain songs and then dancing, it calls back memories of activities and sights and smells that they experienced back home. So it's very important to their sense of belonging," professor Tom Chen tells Lehigh Valley News.
