Harding University brightens up the holiday season

Students, faculty and staff will begin the holiday season Monday, Nov. 28, 2011, at 6 p.m. for the annual Christmas lighting ceremony on the front lawn in the quadrangle near the American Heritage Center.

President David B. Burks will lead the crowd in a countdown at the end of which over 100,000 LED lights will illuminate the campus.

Preparations for the event have been underway since October when the physical resources department began hanging lights throughout campus. The lights will remain on into the new year, and Arkansans are encouraged to add the campus to their lists of light displays to visit this year.

There are many events happening on campus this holiday season. From concerts to plays, the whole family can enjoy Christmas at Harding. For more information, visit www.harding.edu/calendar or follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/searcy and Twitter @HardingU.
