KDU Mid Autumn Festival @ KDU University College

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festival also known as the Mooncake Festival, an annual celebration of the harvest moon during the eighth month in the lunar calendar. The Mid-Autumn celebration includes lighting of lanterns and of course mooncakes, which have, without a doubt, become the main highlight of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is also a time for reunion for Chinese families, and as it is part and parcel of studying away from home, students may sometimes miss out the chance to celebrate certain seasonal celebrations with their families. Not wanting them to feel left out, the Student & Alumni Centre of KDU University College initiated a mooncake workshop recently on 23 September.

#KDU4NEPAL - Raising Hope by KDU University College

April saw a devastating catastrophe striking Nepal in its heart. Many lost their homes and were made homeless with entire villages flattened in the recent massive earthquakes across many districts in Nepal. It was the worst natural disaster to ever strike Nepal since the 1934 Nepal–Bihar earthquake.

Determined to stand together with the victims, KDU University College launched the #kdu4Nepal initiative, which was organised by the KDU Student & Alumni Centre.

Through this initiative, KDU aimed to raise RM30,000 while working hand in hand together with the Malaysian Red Crescent Society, for the Nepal earthquake victims to begin the healing and rebuilding process. As part of the month-long initiative, #kdu4Nepal t-shirts are sold with the proceeds channeled to the victims of Nepal earthquake.
