TULSA, OKLA. – The OU-Tulsa family gathered to celebrate the season as the campus light display lit up the corner for the first time this year. The festive light display on the Seed Sower statue and OU-shaped hedge provides a holiday spectacle at one of the busiest intersections in Tulsa.
“OU-Tulsa sits in the very heart of the city, and the lights at the corner add a fun, OU-themed attraction for all the travelers at 41st and Yale,” said Susan Bynum, OU-Tulsa vice president. “All of us at the University of Oklahoma – Tulsa wish our community the best this holiday season.”
Participants enjoyed hot chocolate and cookies while families had the opportunity to take pictures with our very own campus Grinch. Once the sun went down, the lights were switched on to cheers of excitement. The holiday season has started on the OU-Tulsa campus.
