As we embrace the vibrant spirit of the Chinese New Year, we extend our warmest wishes to you and your families. May the auspicious Year of the Dragon bestow upon you good health, happiness, and prosperity.

We are delighted to share the highlights of our recent celebration held at Chef Chu’s, marking the arrival of 2024 with joy and festivity. The event saw an impressive turnout of over 70 esteemed members of our community, including notable attendees such as Nobel Laureate Steve Chu, Thomas Südhof and the first Chinese tenured female professor, Teresa Wang . It was a night of cultural reverence, unity, and joyous reunions.

Furthermore, we are pleased to announce the election of two new members to the SCFFC board: Shipeng Fu and Li Jiang. Their commitment and contributions are invaluable to our community. As we reflect on the memorable evening spent at Chef Chu’s, it is the collective spirit and enthusiasm of our members that stand out the most. It was indeed a splendid gathering that not only celebrated our rich cultural heritage but also reinforced the bonds of friendship and collegiality within our community.

In this Year of the Dragon, we wish you all a year filled with unparalleled success, joy, and prosperity. May we continue to thrive, inspire, and support one another in our endeavors.
