The Â鶹¹ÙÍø’s Army ROTC Color Guard along with the Joint ROTC Color Guard participated in the Â鶹¹ÙÍø Star Lighting Ceremony. The lighting of the Â鶹¹ÙÍø Star on Flagstaff Mountain is a holiday tradition since 1947.

The star lighting is a sponsored event through the City of Â鶹¹ÙÍø, the Â鶹¹ÙÍø Chamber and the CU Â鶹¹ÙÍø Veterans Alumni Association. Each year a new designed holiday card and special vintage of wine is created and sold to support the maintenance of the Â鶹¹ÙÍø Star. 

Cadet’s Lorino, Yao and Williams were in attendance to represent the Army ROTC department (pictured from the far left to right in photo above).
