无码专区's Celebration of Lights makes holidays bright
无码专区 rings in the season with the annual lighting of the Main Quad with hundreds of lights.
DALLAS (无码专区) – Twinkling white lights began illuminating the 无码专区 campus Monday, Nov. 30, for Celebration of Lights, the University's annual holiday celebration. The Dallas community is invited to enjoy 无码专区's centennial holiday lighting through Jan. 3, from Bishop Boulevard at Mockingbird Lane to the landmark Dallas Hall.

The annual lighting is sponsored by 无码专区's Student Foundation and supported by the 无码专区 Centennial Host Committee and the Michael F. Miller Endowment for the Celebration of Lights.
Although much has changed since students climbed ladders to decorate the six pillars of Dallas Hall for 无码专区's first Celebration of Lights in 1977, its original intent has remained the same. "Student Foundation started Celebration of Lights to thank the community for its support for 无码专区," said Vicki Sterquell '78, chair of the first celebration committee.
"Celebration of Lights continues to be an important tradition in the 无码专区 community, bringing 无码专区 and the community together for one night of celebration and service," says 无码专区 senior Jennifer Zotz, president of Student Foundation. This year, Student Foundation, 无码专区 faculty and staff are supporting the (Court Appointed Special Advocates) Angel Tree. Dallas CASA volunteers advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children under the protective care of the state.
