As one of the main foreign culture in Michigan State University, Chinese culture is leading other cultures to build a multi-culture campus environment.
Chinese New Year, also known as Spring Festival, is one of the most typical intermediary of Chinese culture, which was celebrated by the Chinese students a lot and also spread Chinese culture to the native students in MSU.
Ye Song, a supply chain management major sophomore in MSU, said that her parents came to America to spend the big day with her during Chinese New Year.
"And, um, I took them to see the Spring Festival Gala" Song said, "which is held by CUSA."
On the other hand, for native students like Justine Brunett, an international relations junior, events that held during Chinese New Year are ways to know more about the culture.
"I think it will be a really good way to get, um, like the American native students to learn more about Chinese culture, " she said.
According to the data on OISS website, the growth of Chinese students is dramatically fast, which is from 891total in 2008 to 3712 total in 2012.
As for this phenomenon, Peter Briggs, the director of OISS said that MSU has got one country (China) that is dominating in ways that "we've never seen this before."
