On November 28, the LEAP Ambassadors participated in one of Sam Houston’s oldest traditions. Since 1921, students and faculty at SHSU have gathered to light the university Christmas tree. Emceed by SHSU’s 2017 homecoming king and queen, this year’s ceremony included a performance by Orange Pride and an SHSU musical group. As always, the LEAPsters had their decorated wreath prepared to hang on the tree and join the wreaths of other university organizations. After hanging our wreath on the tree and singing the last few lines of Jingle Bells the ceremony ended. From all the LEAPsters, we want to wish everyone a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
