The lantern festival is widely celebrated at the end of each Lunar New Year. This year, AsACC, CCC, and CISS will hold a lantern-making event in the Student Union.

Students will create decorated lanterns to honor the Chinese Lantern festival. These lanterns are a great way to decorate your dorm or apartment.

Asian snacks will be provided and a contest with a great prize will be held!

Jo Koy World Tour

Sat, Feb 18, 8:00 pm

Co-Sponsored by the UConn Asian American Cultural Center

Coming off the highly anticipated Universal Picture film Easter Sunday and his recent Netflix special, Jo Koy, one of today’s premiere stand-up comics, brings his World Tour to Jorgensen. With four highly rated stand-up specials, including his most recent 2022 release Live From The Los Angeles Forum, Koy has come a long way from his modest beginnings in a Las Vegas coffee house to now selling out the world’s most prestigious venues. That’s a lot of laughs. The hugely relatable comic pulls inspiration from his Filipino family, especially his son.
