University of Minnesota Crookston faculty, staff, and students rang in the Year of the Ox at 8 a.m. last Friday over Zoom with their international and overseas partners including alumni, staff, and partner institutions in China. “It was a trip down Memory Lane for all staff and alumni,” said Rae French, International Programs and Learning Abroad Coordinator.
On-campus, the international students put up an impressive installation of the Spring Festival. Those who showed up were rewarded with traditional lunar new year goodies, such as candy and pineapple cake. They had their fortunes told, watched fireworks on virtual reality, and learned how to tie a longevity knot! May the calm and patient nature of the ox bring about a bountiful harvest in 2021 to all.
