USI welcomes community for annual lighting of the Quad, holiday activities

Lighting a Tradition, a campus-favorite holiday event, is set for Monday, November 25, at the University of Southern Indiana. Full of family-friendly festivities, the event is open to the public and runs from 5:30 to 8 p.m.

Holiday caroling, horse and carriage rides, train rides around the Quad, photos with Santa, karaoke, hot chocolate and cookies make this annual event an evening of fun and merriment.

Hosted by the Student Alumni Association, donations of hats and scarves will also be collected for distribution at a local shelter.

Activities will be located primarily in the Quad and University Center (UC) areas. Holiday carnival games begin at 5:30 p.m. Caroling begins at 6 p.m. in front of the David L. Rice Library, followed by the ceremonial lighting of The Quad's holiday lights at 6:15 p.m. Refreshments and other activities will begin shortly thereafter.

Event updates can be found on Facebook and on the USI events calendar at calendar.usi.edu. For questions, contact Lauren Smith, assistant director of Alumni Relations and Volunteer USI, at 812-464-1924 or lnsmith2@usi.edu.
