The third annual ‘Light
up Night’ at the University of Pittsburgh, co-sponsored by Pitt Program
Council and Student Government Board, was attended by hundreds of
students on Tues. Dec 05, 06 from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. making it a
success once again as Kristin of Delta Delta Delta was there at the
information desk to help students with any information they needed.

Night
Wherever students walked
in the William Pitt Union main floor, they had something to do. The
Kurtzman Room offered students opportunity to make a gingerbread house,
snowflakes, eat snow cones, and help donate ‘Teddies for Tots’.
 
The Lower Lounge
provided students opportunity to decorate a mug while listening to Pitt
Men’s Glee Club, Pitt Handbell Ensemble, and Sounds of Pleasure.
 
The Assembly Room
provided students free food from Saleem’s, India Garden, Milky Way, and
Jimmy Tsang’s as Chabad House provided students opportunities to buy
gifts and wrap them for the upcoming Hannukah celebration even as
students made candles. The room was filled with posters of what the
different December holidays mean.
The Ballroom allowed
students to make a free cookie jar, make free S’mores, decorate a candle
votive, help ‘Make a Wish’ and had free candy canes with the history of
the candy cane.
While students were
enjoying the fun inside of the William Pitt Union, other students were
marveling at the Cathedral of Learning being lit up and students given
free carriage rides.
Board member Allison
Winn, board-elect member James Priestas, and traditions committee member
Allison Govern were very pleased with the events success.
