The University will welcome the holiday season today with the 2009 Candlelight Celebration, but this year because of the weather, the event will be held in the Shaver Theatre in the College of Music and Dramatic Arts building instead of the Memorial Tower.
The celebration includes the lighting of the Christmas tree, celebrations of Kwanzaa and Hanukkah and a variety of musical, theatrical and choral performances.
“It’s a celebration of the holidays, and it includes the celebration of Christmas, the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah and Kwanzaa,” said Melissa Foley, media relations editor in the Office of Communications and University Relations. “There are representatives of all different areas to get everyone on campus in the holiday spirit.”
