The ceremonial lighting of the student centre’s holiday tree promises festive music and traditional milk and cookies starting at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 20, with the official illumination at noon.

Event organizer Sandra Riccio-Muglia says the occasion is open to the entire campus community.

“Come share in the magic of the holidays,” she says. “As the nights get longer, we’ll light the way to brighter days.”
