I had the privilege of attending the annual Chinese New Year celebration at the Health Center. According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2010 is the Year of the Tiger. The celebration, organized by several Health Center research labs, featured talent shows, music, Chinese cuisine, and revelers in tiger-themed costumes and attire.

I enjoyed taking part in the customs and traditions of the Chinese. I am also very proud to be part of an organization that is rich in diversity and culture.
