Chinese New Year 2019

Happy Chinese New Year!

This year marks the Year of the Pig. In China, a pig is a symbol for luck, kindness, honesty, peace and focus. We hope the Year of the Pig will bring you good fortune and auspicious spirits.

The China Gateway has grown steadily in 2018 and overall during its eight years of service in East Asia. The China Gateway initiated the first Ohio State Pan-Asia forum, hosted many delegations and maintained strong and trustworthy relationships with the university and corporate counterparts in the greater China area. All four alumni clubs reached the Scarlet level, the highest level of recognition for alumni clubs. And the Chinese student applications continued to climb at Ohio State.

In the New Year of the Pig, we will remain optimistic and hope that we will continue to grow together with you. We plan to update you with our latest activities through the bi-monthly newsletters, Facebook and WeChat or Weibo accounts (search OhioStateChina). If you have any questions, you can always write to us at [email protected].

Last but not least, we thank you for your support, and we wish you and your families a great Chinese New Year of the Pig!

Ohio State China Gateway Team,
Phoebe, Tina, Xitong and Shaun
