Dear colleagues and students:

We are pleased to inform you that the January issue (65th issue) of My UM is now available!

Chinese New Year is just around the corner. How do people in different countries celebrate the New Year? Check out this issue’s cover story for the interesting New Year traditions around the world (Article). We also interviewed UM student Lai Ka Tong, who is known as ‘Macao’s Yao Ming’, in this issue’s ‘Tell Us Your Story’ (Article/Video). In the ‘UM Reporters’ Column’, we discuss long-distance volunteer teaching and how it can give children from remote villages a chance to receive education (Article/Video).
