The VISP-MA Program welcomed (back) students for the new semester by hosting a Spring Welcome event on January 28th, 2022. The Lunar New Year was celebrated together in advance of the actual Lunar New Year, which is February 1st. The 9th-floor lounge was decorated with traditional Lunar New Year decorations, like lanterns, window clings and Spring Festival couplets. Current students, new students, alumni, and advisors had a good time connecting with each other, enjoying authentic Chinese food, celebrating the Year of the Tiger, and welcoming the new semester.
