As major U.S. holidays like Christmas and New Yearâs pass, another recognized holiday celebrated by friends and family in several Asian countries is Lunar New Year.
The Lunar New Year typically falls between Jan. 21 and Feb. 20, and this year it lands on Friday, Feb. 12. Campus organizations such as the Chinese Student Association, or CSA, and the Vietnamese Student Association, or VSA, are hosting virtual events on Saturday, Feb. 13 and Saturday, Feb. 20 to spread awareness about the celebration and their respective cultures.
Chinese prehistory Lunar New Year stems from the legend of the Jade Emperor, President of A&Mâs CSA James Wang said.

Mike Mahon, chair of the Council of Post-Secondary Presidents of Alberta and president of the University of Lethbridge, has been part of provincewide consultations on revamping Alberta s post-secondary education system. He says the idea of creating larger boards to oversee multiple colleges or universities would be helpful to set a common direction, but only if institutions retain autonomy over how they each operate.(Submitted by University of Lethbridge)
The Alberta government is considering the creation of new boards to oversee multiple universities, colleges or polytechnic institutions in the province.
The proposal is one of several recommendations put forward by international consultant McKinsey and Company as they conduct a $3.7-million review of Alberta s post-secondary education system, according to documents obtained by CBC.
