Tomorrow, December 2nd, the University of New Mexico celebrates its oldest tradition: the Hanging of the Greens. Student organizations will spend the entire day decorating the campus with thousands of luminarias. At 5:45 pm, students, faculty, staff, and community members are invited to meet at the Fiesta Sculpture outside Popejoy Hall. A caroling tour of the luminarias will then take place ending at the University House.
The organizers of Hanging of the Greens, Mortar Board Senior Honor Society, will then present Mr. and Mrs. Caldera a wreath.
This year more than twenty student organizations have signed up to help. The students have already been busy folding bags and getting ready to fill them with sand. Each organization chooses an area of campus they wish to decorate and are assigned a number of bags based on the size of the area.
We look forward to the most successful Hanging of the Greens yet! Please join us at 5:45 outside Popejoy Hall. For more information, contact Trey Smith at 277-4706.
