Carol of Lights

For the last 47 years, Texas Tech has held the Carol of Lights. What started out as a small gathering between a professor and students to sing Christmas carols in 1959, has turned into an event that draws an estimated 20,000 current and former students and Lubbock residents to the Tech campus. This year, Tech will once again hold the Carol of Lights which starts at 7:00 p.m. on November 30, 2007.
