Christmas on Campus
Christmas on Campus is an annual event at the University of Dayton in which children are invited to campus to celebrate the Christmas holiday. It has become one of the nation's largest single-day, on-campus community service events.〔Dayton Daily News. "UD to mark 40th year of Christmas on Campus." November 27, 2003.〕 University students "adopt" area children and treat them to seasonal shows, displays and food. The event is held on December 8 each year, the same day as the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. It is one of the largest events hosted by the University of Dayton, and has a student organization devoted to preparing and running the event.〔Christmas on Campus website. http://www.udayton.edu/studev/studentlifeandku/coc/ Accessed December 2, 2009.〕 It is considered by some to be an integral part of the campus' spirit.〔U.S. News & World Report website.

== History ==
The roots of Christmas on Campus can be traced to 1962, when an event called Operation Joy was held in which 60 children between the ages of 4 and 12 were brought to campus as part of a Christmas party hosted by the senior class. In 1963, the first event referred to as Christmas on Campus was held. However, it was meant as a celebration for students before the beginning of Christmas break, and did not include inviting children. These two events were combined in 1966, when children were invited to attend Christmas on Campus. There were 275 children at the 1966 inauguration of the event in its current form. 〔Miller, Nikki.

On Jan. 16, 2009, the founder of Christmas on Campus, Eleanor "Ellie" Ann Kurtz, died at age 82. Kurtz ran the event every year until 1994, and missed it only twice, including in 2008, due to poor health. 〔Dayton Daily News. "Founder of UD's Christmas on Campus dies."
