Yesterday, we hosted our fifth annual campuswide holiday celebration, Deck the Columns. Despite cold weather moving some activities inside Jesse Hall, we still welcomed hundreds of Mizzou students, faculty, staff and families for festive food, music and fun.

Highlights included classic seasonal songs performed by Mini Mizzou, a holiday photo opportunity with Truman the Tiger and wagon rides around Francis Quadrangle courtesy of the Mizzou College of Veterinary Medicine Mule Team.

Deck the Columns is also about giving back to others. The Mizzou United Way Campaign, Tiger Pantry and Truman’s Closet were on-site to collect donations and share their mission to support our community.

We were proud to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year with fellow Tigers. Thank you to all who attended, and to the many volunteers who made this year’s Deck the Columns such a success.
