“Our main goal [of TASA] is to actually just improve awareness of Taiwanese culture,” said Luke Chang ’27, TASA co-president. Tao explained the significance of red envelopes, which were located at a table and filled with candies. Some special red envelopes contained raffle prizes — including horse plushies, lego sets and snacks — that winners could redeem after opening them. “Red envelopes basically signify gifts,” Tao said. The event’s main mission was to bring a sense of home to Ithaca in celebration of culture and the New Year.
