The final week of the fall 2008 semester included numerous holiday celebrations and performances. Carriage rides carried students around campus on Wednesday, Dec. 3. For the first time, President Ayers hosted a winter wonderland celebration at his home. His backyard was transformed into a dining area with desserts and appetizers, sheltered underneath a large decorated (and heated) tent. The synchronized swimming team performed in front of hundreds at its annual holiday show in the Natatorium on Thursday and Friday nights. And the a capella groups came together in the Tyler Haynes Commons for their annual holiday show.
