2017 Nov 7

Mallory Schrier of Muskegon, MI, is among the University of Dayton student leaders organizing the 54th annual Christmas on Campus.

The event, set for Dec. 8, brings more than 1,000 public schoolchildren to campus to enjoy crafts, games, treats, pictures with Santa and more.

Started in 1964 as a way for students to celebrate the holiday before heading home for winter break, Christmas on Campus has evolved into what is believed to be one of the nation's largest single-day, on-campus community service events. Nearly three-quarters of the undergraduate student body is involved in some way.
