Fall Preview 3
We’ve planned a special event just for high school students and their families.
Spend the morning with us to:
- Explore UNM's nationally ranked academic programs
- Learn about admissions, financial aid, scholarships and campus resources
- Take a tour of campus and campus housing
Hanging of the Greens 2025 begins at 5:30 p.m. on December 5, at the UNM Bookstore on main campus. Enjoy hot chocolate and biscochitos before the community will gather to carol with Santa and Mrs. Claus, Lobo Louie and Lucy and a host of elves. Together, the group walks to University House and present President Stokes with a holiday wreath. Afterward, carolers move to Hodgin Hall Alumni Center, singing along the way, to enjoy the President's Posole Reception from 6:30 to 8 p.m.
The community is invited, and attendees are asked to bring an unwrapped children's book to place under the tree at Hodgin Hall. Books will be donated to UNM Children's Hospital.
The Hanging of the Greens is a traditional event that first began in the 1930’s with Lena C. Clauve, former UNM student and UNM Dean of Women. The tradition began at UNM when students would drive to the Sandia Mountains to gather greenery, they would later use to decorate the Student Union Building.
