The Chinese Autumn Festival has arrived on campus! This festival usually falls around the autumn season of the Chinese calendar (September-October), which is how it gets its name. The Confucius Institute at NMSU, a program created in 2007 to spread awareness of Chinese culture and language, celebrated its anniversary by bringing a class of elementary students to campus. Children were able to interact with native speakers and, who knows, some might become Aggies in the future!Â
