A Note from the Office of Alumni Relations

We hope that you and your families had a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday.

 

Prior to the Thanksgiving break, Immaculata students enjoyed ice-skating on back campus. Yes, you read this correctly! The Student Programming Board brought ice skating to back campus for current students to enjoy. The Daily Local News wrote about the event; you can read the article online here.  

 

Our facilities department has been busy making final preparations for the Christmas season.  The Christmas lights are on and the tree has been decorated!  If you cannot attend Carol Night, we hope you will enjoy the many photos that continue to be posted on our website.

Immaculata Trivia
Did You Know...
Carol Night is the oldest and best-loved tradition at Immaculata.  Every year since 1921, when the first class gathered to sing carols by the light of bayberry candles, faculty, students, alumni, and friends of the University have saluted Christmas with candlelight and song.

This scene has always been festive, and seniors have had a special role by escorting the statue of the Infant Jesus to a place of honor at the base of the tree, reminding everyone of the true meaning of the Christmas feast. 

Do You Remember... 
What is the name of the song to which the seniors enter the Rotunda and signifies the ceremonial beginning of Carol Night?


Correct answers will be entered into a monthly drawing for a prize; don't forget to include your contact information!
