Visit 'The Lights @Maple' This Month

The Griswolds, Fayetteville's own Stewart Family or the magical Lights of the Ozarks … you can't deny the joy that holiday lights bring to kids and adults alike!  

It's a tradition in our own Northwest Arkansas community, and now University Housing is getting in on the festivities. 

University Housing strives to make this season special for students, staff and campus community members by offering an inaugural "The Lights @Maple" program.  

This event features a decorative assortment of lights throughout the outdoor courtyard located between the Maple Hill residence halls. Staff and students from the Maple Hill community worked diligently to hang lights and are ready to show it off. 

The program started Sunday, Nov. 29, and continues through Saturday, Dec. 12. Time slots to visit are offered each evening throughout the two-week period. Students, faculty and staff alike are welcome to register for a 45-minute time slot on one of the dates listed below. 

There are activities such as a photo wall, a hot cocoa and apple cider station, a "s'more station" and more. These activities are all offered for free to the campus community.   

Faculty and staff are welcome to bring their families so long as anyone over the age of 3 is registered.   

To register for a time slot, use your university email and go to the Lights @Maple registration page
