Children at the Preschool Holiday Party embrace Santa Claus (aka Professor of Communication Roger Desmond).

The University's annual Preschool Teddy Bear Holiday Party on Dec. 6 provided some adorable moments, as the young guests danced and enjoyed holiday festivities in Gengras Student Union.

Children from Capital Prep Preschool and S.A.N.D. Elementary School in Hartford each chose a stuffed animal to take home, had a picture taken with Santa Claus, and enjoyed pizza, snacks, music, and activities. The party is hosted each year by the Office of Multicultural Programs and the Center for Community Service, along with many other campus organizations and student and staff volunteers.
