It’s time to deck the halls with boughs of holly, or Samford Lawn in this case. It is about that time to spread the holiday cheer on the plains. The Holiday Celebration is an Auburn Tradition. This year it will be held on Thursday, November 29 from 6:30-8:30 on Samford Lawn.

The Holiday Celebration is a great opportunity for students, faculty, staff, and the Auburn community to come together and bring in the holiday season. This event includes a brief program and then the lighting of the tree on Samford Lawn.

“I love seeing the tree light up, so it is always fun to work this event. It is great to see the community and university come together,� said Emily Chappell a Director on UPC.

William Wall is your typical business student at Auburn University, despite the fact that he spends around 28 hours a week at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. Not only does Wall work three to four seven-hour shifts a week, but he plays there as well in all of his spare time. No worries though, because it looks like golf may be beneficial for his business career after all.

“Working at the golf course is the best job ever, if you enjoy golf that is,â€? Wall said. “You’re outside socializing with people that have the same interests as you. At Robert Trent Jones, we attract golfers from all over the United States, so it is kind of interesting to talk to those people.â€?

And as much time as he spends on golf during work and personal time, it’s a good thing he enjoys it. Originally from Birmingham, Ala., Wall is an Outside Service Provider at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Grand National in Opelika, Ala.
