REAL HUMANS. REALLY SINGING.<\/h1>\n

What is Dial-A-Carol?<\/h3>\n

The short answer:<\/strong>\u00a0a wonderful group of mostly student volunteers dedicating some of their finals week study time to sing holiday songs to anyone around the world who calls, for 24 hours a day, one week year, all in the name of spreading joy and kindness.<\/p>\n

Dial-A-Carol is the longest running tradition in University Housing (hosted by Snyder Hall since 1960). For one week only, anyone from around the world can call our phone lines, 24\/7, and request any holiday song, then we’ll do our best to sing our hearts out. The best part? It’s completely\u00a0FREE!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Join\u00a0Dial-A-Carol on Facebook<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>to get a glimpse of behind the scenes. We’ll also be doing Request-a-Song on Facebook Live at some point during the week. Stay tuned for details!<\/p>\n

Real life human people will sing to me?<\/h3>\n

Yes!!! Students, faculty, staff, and members of the community are all welcome to take part. They have a book of traditional holiday music, but will also search the internet to find the words and tune to even the most obscure song.\u00a0Check out this\u00a0video from\u00a0<\/a>last year<\/a>\u00a0to get an inside look.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
