Lunar New Year is coming! The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is hosting a festival this weekend to celebrate, with a day of special programming available for free online! See the schedule on their website for more information.

Closer to campus, the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore will have special programming in person and online all weekend, including curator talks and other events celebrating the Year of the Tiger. Learn more about their schedule here.

We're also planning ways to celebrate on campus - keep an eye on your email next week for more information!

Interested in Study Abroad?

There are many study abroad opportunities available for Asian Studies students, and several of them are currently accepting applications for the 2022-23 academic year. We've listed a few of particular interest here, but check with the Education Abroad office if you have additional questions!

The Frederick Douglass Global Fellowship offers full funding for a summer program to students who identify as an ethnicity which is historically underrepresented in study abroad programs. The deadline to apply is February 14, 2022.

If you receive Pell grants as part of your financial aid package, you are eligible to apply to the Gilman Scholarship or the Gilman-McCain Scholarship! These programs offer up to $5,000 to support up to one academic year of a study abroad program. Learn more at the Education Abroad information sessions on February 8 and February 22!

Not sure what programs are available, or what might be a good fit for you and your academic or career plans? Stop by the Study Abroad 101 session on February 9.
