Hundreds of students turned out on November 30 for the College’s annual Tree Lighting Ceremony. A tradition for 25 years, the evening served up sweet treats and warm drinks, plus a number of performances by Columbia’s a cappella groups. The countdown to the big moment began at 7:15 p.m., and then suddenly the lights switched on, welcoming the start of another holiday season in Morningside Heights.
