Don't miss Lights On TU this Friday!

|
The date for Lights On TU 2023 has been changed to Friday, Dec. 1, because of inclement weather in the forecast for Thursday evening.
You, your families, and your friends are invited to this annual holiday tradition from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday on Chapman Commons in front of Collins Hall when we illuminate the campus with 1 million lights.
We will have free food, cocoa, cider, coffee, cookies, and desserts. There will be stations for letters to Santa, make-your-own ornaments, DIY jingle bells, and s'mores. Santa will be on hand for photos, and a limited number of plush Goldie puppies will be available.
We apologize for any inconvenience the rescheduling may have caused and hope you are able to join us Friday evening as we welcome the weekend and usher in a happy holiday season.

Telling Woody’s tale
As director of the Woody Guthrie Center, Cady Shaw (BA ’99) makes facility decisions, meets with donors and members, oversees staff and their exhibit work, partners with other businesses, and so much more. And she appreciates being at the center of Tulsa’s Arts District. “TU alums are community-focused, and I think that speaks to TU’s influence of giving back to the community and creating the places that you want to be part of,” she said. “In my experience, TU graduates are dependable, creative, and passionate.”
