Chinese Table is an important but also fun occasion you don't want to
miss at Mount Holyoke College. Twice a week, faculty members and students
have either lunch or dinner together while sharing their experiences
of campus life and interests together. It is a great opportunity to practice
Chinese, to discuss current issues on the United States and China, to
compare notes on Chinese cooking, to gossip about American and Chinese
movie stars and popular singers, or to relate your travel experiences
and unusual encounters. It is also a good place to make new friends and
establish bonds with your classmates. Sharing a meal together regularly
creates relaxed atmosphere and family-like relationship with your professors
and fellow students. You will be amazed to find that people are genuinely
interested in your studies, your life, and your other interests.
Everyone is welcome!
Please see the college newspaper for dates and locations.
Chinese Festivals
As a multicultural community, it is a tradition to celebrate major Chinese
festivals such as Moon Festival and Chinese New Year at Mount Holyoke
College. In organizing these events, faculties and students join effort
to create an environment for not only broadening students' outlook and
knowledge about China, but also making everyone feel at home.
