Students decked out campus spaces with red and gold lanterns, wall hangings and lights throughout the last week to ring in Lunar New Year. Various cultural clubs and organizations held their own Lunar New Year events and socials across the first week of the new year, which began Feb. 17.
One such event was a celebration for Tết, or Vietnamese Lunar New Year. The event was co-hosted by the Vietnamese Student Association, the Southeast Asian Student Coalition and the office of ASUC Senator Sydnee Thy.
“This is very nostalgic to me,” said Mi Tang, Thy’s chief of staff. “Growing up in San Francisco ... when I went to school I only knew one other Viet person. I really found a sense of identity and sense of purpose here.”
