Santa Claus made a guest appearance at Memorial's tree lighting
ceremony held on Dec. 4 at the St. John's campus. The tree lighting
ushers in the festive season on the St. John’s campus. Here
Santa gives children from the CSU-MUN Childcare Centre some candy
canes. Santa thanks WalkSafe's Dan Meades for his help.
With the click of a
button, the holiday season was officially launched at Memorial
on Dec. 4, during the annual tree lighting ceremony. President
Axel Meisen, MUNSU president Keith Dunne
and GSU president Darren Newton switched on the tree's colored
lights to cheering and applause from the audience.
The tree will remain a light between the Science and Henrietta
Harvey buildings during the holiday season for the campus community
to enjoy. Many members of the university community took part
in the event, from staff at University Relations who distributed
hot chocolate, song sheets and fruit cake, to emcee Sarah Anthony
of Student Affairs, to chaplain Major Wilson Perrin and members
of the Salvation Army Students' Fellowship Band.
A large gathering, including a spirited group of children from
the CSU-MUN Childcare Centre, walked over to Toulinguet Close
to sing carols and spread goodwill to the students, faculty and
staff preparing for final exams.
