1:00 p.m. Academic Discussion | The Paul Merage School of Business, SB2 Multipurpose Room 232

A time of reunion, Lunar New Year invites celebrants to revisit familiar faces in family, friends, and folklore. On various shores of the Pacific Ocean, this is an occasion to reconnect with what and, more importantly, who brings us close. Embracing this spirit, the School of Social Sciences and Asian Americans Advancing Justice OC invite you to this year's academic component of the Lunar New Year celebration, featuring a discussion of the newly released Orange County Asian American and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander assets and needs assessment. Admission is free and open to the public, and you can catch a sneak preview of the findings in this video trailer.
