This year’s Carol of Lights is the official closing ceremony of the Texas Tech Centennial Celebration. The 65th Annual Carol of Lights will take place on December 2. This is one of Tech’s oldest and most treasured traditions. It provides an opportunity for all of Texas Tech’s students, faculty/staff, the Lubbock community, and many others to come together.
