RUCAA’s 2026 Coast to Coast Lunar New Year Toast: A Global Celebration
RUCAA welcomed the Year of the Horse with our inaugural Coast to Coast Lunar New Year Toast, bringing together Rice alumni across five cities and two continents. From Seoul to Houston, Washington DC, New York, and Marina del Rey, alumni gathered to celebrate our shared heritage and Rice connections.
The celebrations began on February 6th in Seoul at the New Blanc Central Myeongdong Hotel, marking RUCAA’s inaugural event in Korea. Nine days later, on February 15th, four cities across the United States came alive with festivities as alumni gathered from coast to coast—from a family-friendly brunch at Luna Hall DC to evening celebrations at Chi in Manhattan, Triple Pepper in Houston, and NAMOO in Marina del Rey.
It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces and meet new ones as we celebrated together across time zones. Thank you to everyone who joined us in making these gatherings so special!
