Engaging Extras Add to Excitement of Card-Lighting Ceremony
Published 12.04.2014
Attendees at Wednesday's yearly lighting ceremony enjoyed free hot chocolate and cookies, as well as the delicious suspense of wondering which holiday cards were chosen as this year's favorites. But the festivities didn't stop when the winners were announced! There was also a photo booth where students could grab some wacky pictures with their friends, a do-it-yourself table where participants created "Mason jar snow candle" novelties, and a movie-ticket raffle in exchange for donations of nonperishable and personal-care items to local social-service agencies. Among this year's student entries, the Veterans Club's card placed first, the Student Government Association was awarded second prize and the Diesel Performance Club was third. In the office category, Madigan Library earned top honors, The College Store placed second, and Assessment, Research and Planning finished third.
