This Lunar New Year (February 12, 2021) finds many Trinity Western students celebrating the occasion in different ways. Amy Saya, Student Life Intern at TWU Richmond and Vera Xiong, Student Life Coordinator at TWU Richmond, interviewed current students to learn more about how they celebrate Lunar New Year.
Evelyn, in the BA Leadership program, will be celebrating Lunar New Year with her landlord’s family over a large dinner. She said, “I will try to message my friends and family to virtually celebrate with them. I have many friends who also celebrate Chinese New Year abroad, and we bond because we know how it feels to be alone during this huge celebration. I have felt cared for by the TWU-R family during my studies here, and I know they will reach out this year.”
