С��è��ý’s Southeast Center will welcome the “Year of the Snake” with music, entertainment, food, vendors, door prizes and much more.

С��è��ý invites the public to its 11th annual Asian New Year Celebration, starting at 11:30 a.m., Monday, Feb. 18 at Warner Pacific College’s McGuire Auditorium (SE Division St. and 68th Ave.). The event features a lion dance, Asian dances, music, face painting, an update on the college’s Southeast Center bond project, and other activities. Admission is $3 for the community, $1 for students and free for children who are under 12. Parking is free.

The college will offer a free shuttle between Southeast Center and Warner Pacific from 11:15 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. Prior to the event there will be an International Market hosted at С��è��ý’s Southeast Center’s Great Hall (2305 SE 82nd Ave.) on Wednesday, Feb. 13 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The International Market includes a showcase of cultures by students and samples of food.

For more information on the Asian New Year Celebration, contact Becky Springer, student leadership coordinator, at Rebecca.springer@pcc.edu.

The reason for the switch to Warner Pacific is that С��è��ý is transforming the Southeast Center into a comprehensive, full-service campus. The expanded location will have two new buildings – a student commons and library – that will include a bookstore, tutoring center, the Women’s Resource Center, a Multicultural Center, new classrooms and science and computer labs. Overall, С��è��ý is investing a total of $34 million in direct construction for campus improvements that will more than double the size of the location.
