Lighting the tree

About 4,500 students, faculty, staff and alumni filled the Campus Commons for annual Christmas Tree Lighting tradition.

Snow angels and snowballs made from a huge pile of real snow poured around Frog Fountain were just some of the fun at the Christmas Tree lighting in late November. About 4,500 students, faculty, staff and alumni filled the Campus Commons, where hot chocolate, cookie decorating, live reindeer, holiday music by local band The Poo Live Crew, SuperFrog in a purple Santa suit and a fireworks display wrapped up this spectacular annual event.
