Welcome back!

Just a few days ago was the Lunar New Year! 🌕

In the Chinese calendar this is the Year of the Horse, 🐴 which is one of the 12 zodiacs signs that make up the 12 year cycle.

UVA is holding a Lunar New Year celebration on the Lawn on Saturday. Make sure to catch the first ever lion dance on the Law, which will be performed by our very own local Laughing Dragon Kung Fu Academy!

More details below! This isn’t an experience you want to miss.
