Dim Sum is a range of small Chinese dishes that are traditionally enjoyed at tea houses for brunch. Dim Sum means “to touch the heart” in Chinese. It describes people sharing a pot of tea while eating little comforting dishes. Originating in the Canton region, this course was created in order to satisfy the traders and travellers who would stop for rest and business. More than just food, dim sum needs to be enjoyed with good company and good conversation.

We plan to make pineapple buns in the first of our six part dim sum making series.

Join us at Palana to carve pumpkins and get in the Halloween spirit!

Come dance and celebrate the end of the semester with some African-Latino beats at Coltrane! Get ready to experience some new music styles not commonly represented. Sponsored by Alianza.

As recent alum come back to campus to enjoy homecoming weekend, PALANA House sees this as an opportunity to tap into this networking of returning graduates and create a space for current students to get to know them. The goal of the event is for students of marginalized identities to come in contact with recent grads of similar identities and have honest, comfortable dialogue about life after Middlebury. This mixer will include light food and refreshments.
