A Circle of Light

Catawba’s Circle of Light is a radiant tribute to the generosity of our alumni. During final exam week and again at our cherished Lessons & Carols services, luminaries will illuminate the Chapel Circle — each one representing an alum who has shared their light through philanthropy. Together, these glowing symbols form a circle of support, hope, and inspiration, reminding our community that the light of alumni generosity continues to guide and uplift Catawba College.

Reserve Your Luminary 

After your reservation is received, we will prepare and set out your luminary so you can see it between the dates of December 1st-December 7th or invite your recipient to attend and surprise them with your gift. For an additional cost, we will send a personalized greeting card to let the individual or their family know you made a gift in their honor/memory.
