#ThrowbackThursday to the Holiday Tree lighting through the years. Over a thousand lights and a lit star that can be seen for many miles adorn the gigantic sequoia outside Campbell Hall. Learn a little more about the dutiful sentinel that brightens our campus each winter in these #TBT photos ...courtesy of the WOU Archives.

Meet Keaton Ayala Cruz, a first-year Pre-Ed major with an ESOL minor! 🎓 As a first-generation Hispanic student, he chose WOU for its supportive small community, strong school spirit, amazing music program, and the pride of being Oregon’s first public 4-year HSI.
He’s already deeply... involved on campus through Chamber Singers and TWOU, which have been major highlights of his year. Nothing beats making music with people who love it just as much! 🎶
After graduation, Keaton hopes to teach K–12 in Oregon someday and be the representation he wished he had seen growing up. 📚
And for his top Monmouth pick? Yeasty Beasty. Best pizza AND best garlic bread. Hands down!🍕
