China Culture Week activities run through March 9

The Chinese Students and Scholars Association at Cornell has organized and is sponsoring its first "China Culture Week," beginning this week and running through the first weeks of March.

There are a variety of on-campus activities planned and all are open to the Cornell community and the general public. The goal, organizers say, is "to reveal a real China to people here, in and around Cornell."
