The Chinese Student and Scholar
Association's celebration of Chinese New Year that started
in 2006 on the Homewood campus quickly outgrew its venue
and headed in 2007 to the Meyerhoff, where it drew some
2,000 attendees from 20 universities and institutes in
Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, West Virginia and
Washington, D.C. This year, the event moves to the Lyric
Opera House, where the Year of the Rat will be welcomed by
the Beijing Opera monkey show, a Kung Fu spectacular, the
Sichuan Acrobat rolling lamp show, singers, dancers and an
audience that will include Chinese Ambassador Wenzhong Zhou
and Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon. Tickets bought on the
Homewood and East Baltimore campuses are 40 percent off.
