January 24   Wednesday  6:00-7:30pm    Chinese Hot Pot: Beyond Food
@ Asian American Cultural Center, 1210 W. Nevada Street, Urbana

Hot pot, a traditional Chinse cuisine, is very popular here in Champaign Urbana among Chinese students. It’s not just food, but a cultural heritage, a way to build close friendships and communities. Tingting, a Chinese international student, will share how she finds a sense of belonging through hot pot and involvement on campus – a story of preserving cultural traditions, stepping out of the comfort zone and finding true passion!

Sponsored by Office of Inclusion and Intercultural Relations (OIIR) – International Education (IE), Asian American Cultural Center (AACC), and UNICEF@ UIUC.
