The holiday season is here. 

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.000
It's the time of year we gather at home with family and friends.

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:11.000
It's the time of year we celebrate...

00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:15.000
by coming together, enjoying a parade and lighting the giant sequoia

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:19.000
planted by the graduating class of 1887.

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:21.000
The holiday season is a time for sharing...

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:26.000
sharing food with students in need and taking care of the Western community.

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:29.000
The holiday season is also a time for giving... 

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:34.000
giving back to those who have supported Western Oregon University for many, many years.

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:39.000
The holiday season is especially the time to thank all of you, our employees,

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:44.000
who work together to make this university great.

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:49.000
We wish you the happiest of seasons and a bright new year.
