Beginning Friday, Nov. 10, through Wednesday, Nov. 29, Christmas trees will be on display at various locations on the campus. Trees will be decorated with tag ornaments listing a child’s age, gender, clothing size and wish list.

Participants are asked to register as a Secret Santa and pick a numbered tag from a tree at one of the designated campus locations.

Those participating in this year’s Little Raiders campaign as a Secret Santa are asked to please drop off all gift donations at the University Police Department by Dec. 4.

Christmas tree locations:

• University Police Department Lobby, 1412 E. Main St. — Open 24 hours
• June Anderson Center for Women and Nontraditional Students, located on the third floor of the Student Union Building, 1768 MTSU Blvd.

Local faith-based nonprofit Barnabas Vision is partnering with MTSU in this effort.
