An efficient tradition
For the past 50 years, the lights arranged in the shape of two massive candles at the Indiana Memorial Union have lit up campus from the day after Thanksgiving through the new year. For the first time, both candles will be made up completely of LED light bulbs, making them more energy efficient and durable and bringing this beloved IU tradition into the 21st century.

Life at the greenhouse
What started as a job for some extra money became a beloved lifelong career. Now, with 46 years of greenhouse work under his belt, Jordan Hall Greenhouse Supervisor John Lemon continues to find passion for horticulture at IU. While not much has changed over the years, Lemon is constantly meeting new people and visitors and learning more about the exotic array of plants that lives on Third Street.
