Christmas Tree Lighting

This holiday tradition, hosted by the Student Government Association, annually draws more than 500 students as well as faculty, staff and their families to Willingham Auditorium. The Mercer Singers lead the audience in carols, the University Minister offers a Christmas meditation, and a faculty member entertains the audience with a traditional Christmas reading. The event concludes with the lighting of the Mercer Christmas tree. After the Christmas Tree Lighting, you are invited to Winter Wonderland in Penfield Hall for a holiday themed party complete with holiday drinks, treats, and activities, a photobooth, and Santa Claus!
