Islander Lights Holiday Village

Visit the Islander Lights Holiday Village in University Center Rotunda to try your hand seasonal crafts, activities, and challenges designed by TAMU-CC Student Organizations and University Departments to showcase their unique specialties and interests. Past activities include ornament making, cookie decorating, and educational challenges. There’s always something exciting brewing at the Chemistry Club booth, and the University Mail Service will help you mail your letters to Santa (North Pole delivery guaranteed).

Check out some previous table and craft designs for inspiration!

Registration Details

Register your Student Organization/University Department to participate in our Holiday Village to promote your organization and host a holiday craft or activity appropriate for the general community (including small children).

The tables will be set up in a "Holiday Wonderland Village" style, so we encourage you to decorate your table and go big! Tables can follow a theme of the holiday season or just be adorable. We hope that people will wander through the village getting to know each organization, enjoying crafts, and seeing our Islander spirit! Visit our Pinterest page for some ideas for decorating and hosting your table.
