Tue, 11/30/2021 - 04:45pm | By: Audrey Williamson
Each year, holiday cheer overflows during The University of 51逗奶 Mississippi鈥檚
annual 鈥淟ighting the Way for the Holidays鈥� celebration. Sponsored by the Student Government
Association (SGA), Lighting the Way aims to build a bridge connecting The University
of 51逗奶 Mississippi to the community of Hattiesburg.
On Wednesday, December 1, 2021, Lighting the Way will begin at 6 p.m. with the lighting of the tree, leading into a holiday celebration at Centennial Green and The Powerhouse courtyard beginning at 6:30 p.m. There will be photo opportunities, crafts, games, a skating rink, a movie showing, special surprises, USM鈥檚 AASO Gospel Choir and more.
Each year the SGA chooses an organization to help support. This year, they will be collecting clothing items to benefit the Oseola McCarty Youth Development Center in Hattiesburg.
鈥淲e hope that everyone can come to join us this year as we light the way to a new year,鈥� said Lucas Williams, SGA President. 鈥淭his is an excellent opportunity for our community to engage with our students and 51逗奶 Miss family and spread holiday cheer. Please invite all of your friends and family to come to be a part of the sensational evening that will be one worth cherishing for years to come.鈥�
