Dial-A-Carol is a student-run holiday program in Snyder Hall. It was started in December 1960 by Betty Gordon, an area office secretary, and the residents of Snyder Hall who wanted to spread some holiday cheer around campus. The idea behind the program is quite simple. Anyone from anywhere can call and request a holiday tune to be sung over the telephone. The program runs 24 hours a day for seven days, and is held each year during finals week of the first semester. This program is possible because of many volunteers who sacrifice their study time for finals in order to help. The Dial-a-Carol program broke records in 2016! More than 16,000 callers were serenaded by dedicated Snyder Hall students and volunteers.
