Welcome to the Lunar New Year of the Rabbit!

On January 22, 2023  many Asian countries celebrate the arrival of the Lunar New Year of the Rabbit. It is a time for family and friends to gather to spend time with each other, share a meal, and greet each other with lucky sayings.

This year  MHC alums, professors, staff members and students  from all over the world joined together and continued the tradition of  wishing  everyone a happy and healthy  Lunar New  Year in a very special video project, launched by Eleanor Chang ’78,  and supported by the Mount Holyoke Global Alum Alliance and a team of volunteers.

Greetings were edited by Beier Yao ’13 of Boston into a video set to yangqin music played by Bingyao Liu ’19  of Melbourne and shared on social media during the Lunar New Year period.

Mount Holyoke has a truly global alum community where 15% of the alum population is international. The Lunar New Year video greetings initiative shows that the global alums form a cohesive network with amazing strength. 

Watch the video greetings and celebrate with our global alums: Happy Year of the Rabbit!
