A student takes a few steps on a ladder and stretches one arm to the top of a large glowing menorah in the center of Tappan Square. The gold branched candelabra and flames glisten against the night sky and those surrounding it look up at its brilliance. This ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï community gathering, in celebration of the last night of Hanukkah, leads off this week’s photo series.

As the campus prepares for winter break, we take a moment to visit a swimming invitational at Carr Pool; an ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Orchestra rehearsal, Nicholas Payton Trio concert, and ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï College Choir performance in Finney Chapel; buy a few gifts at the Maker’s Market in the Science Center; attend a choir session at Langston Middle School; and get ready to swing in Wilder Main.
