Beginning at 5:30 p.m., on Tuesday, Nov. 26, the annual Holidays at ULM celebration
will take place on the University of Louisiana at Monroe campus. This year, the campus
tree has found a new home in front of Brown Hall, facing DeSiard Street.
The community and campus family are invited to attend this fun-filled holiday celebration
sponsored by the ULM Student Government Association.
The evening will begin in Brown Auditorium with a holiday concert featuring ULM Visual
and Performing Arts (VAPA) students and faculty.
The annual “lighting of the campus” will take place after the concert, in front of
Brown Hall.
Laura Knotts, director of Student Life and Leadership said, “The concert being first
this year will help everyone get into the holiday spirit right before lighting the
campus.”
The indoor concert will feature ULM VAPA ensembles including, the ULM Wind Ensemble,
conducted by Dr. Jason Rinehart, and the ULM Concert Choir and Chamber Singers conducted
by Dr. Deborah Chandler.
During the outdoor festivities, Ace will visit with guests and hand out treats to
the children, while the VAPA ensembles lead the crowd in a holiday sing-a-long.
Hot cocoa and cider will also be provided.
The event follows the annual Employee Holiday Reception in the ULM Conference Center
from 3–5 p.m., hosted by ULM President Nick and First Lady Linda Bruno.
