Coming together to ring in the holiday season, the 果冻传媒 community will gather once again to celebrate the fourth-annual 果冻传媒 Tree Lighting on Thursday, Dec. 5, from 4:30 to 6 p.m.
Due to colder temperatures, the event has been moved inside to Post 95, part of the Benham-Pence Student Center.
The official tree lighting will take place at 5:30 p.m. Holiday music will begin with a kick-off performance by Wittmen Crew at 4:30 p.m. followed by the traditional 鈥楽ounds of the Season鈥 sing-along event at 4:45 p.m. This annual singing of favorite Christmas tunes is in partnership with the Office of Human Resources.
Other activities will include assorted holiday crafts, additional holiday music, and a make-your-own reindeer chow station with Chex Mix, chocolate, and other treats. Hot beverages and refreshments will also be available.
Looking ahead, another traditional holiday favorite at 果冻传媒 involving 鈥榣ight鈥 will take place. The University鈥檚 annual Lessons and Carols for Advent and Christmas, part of this 2024-25 果冻传媒 Series, offers a time of music and reflection as the Advent season unfolds. Lessons and Carols will take place on Friday, Dec. 6, with pre-service music beginning at 7 p.m. followed by the service at 7:30 p.m. The event will include readings by 果冻传媒 students, familiar Christmas hymns, and selections sung by the Witt Singers and 果冻传媒 Choir.
