Benedictine University gets into the holiday spirit
By David Arnone

Every holiday season, people throughout the world spend time decorating and getting themselves into the festive mood. This year Benedictine University’s Student activities gathered and decorated the Krasa Fireside lounge on Tuesday evening from 7:00p.m.-8:00p.m. for this year’s holiday season.

For many years, the student activities department has offered this generosity of decorating the Krasa Center with its many Christmas garland. The goal of this operation is to help not only decorate our school, but also to bring the Christmas spirit to the students and faculty members.

This year, student activities put up a Christmas tree with white lights that are circulate around it. Christmas garland and bows were also placed within the Krasa fireside lounge area to give off a more festive mood for this holiday season.

Eric Guthrie, assistant student activities coordinator, said “decorating the fireside lounge was a new experience. That was my first time putting up a Christmas tree.”

Student Activities was not the only department on campus who was responsible for our Christmas decorating. Campus Services contributed to the decorating effort by placing 200 sets of lights on our main entrance area by the Benedictine sign and by the front of Birck Hall of Science on the shrubbery.

Campus services also placed lighting on the back of the Krasa Center right outside of the Fireside lounge as well as by some of the housing located across the way at Founders Woods. Campus Services office manager Janice Giovanini said that Student and student worker of the Campus Services department Ashley Tinerellie said in regards to the maintenance crew members “they put a lot of hard work and time into putting the lights up. They look great.”
