Holi - The Festival of Colors

Randolph students gathered in Bell Quad to dance and smear each other with color in recognition of Holi - the Hindu Festival of Color.

Participants decorated themselves and others with brightly colored powders and danced in the sun to music provided by WWRM deejays. Passersby and observers were invited to join in the fun. Those who did not want to get too messy often settled for a couple of small dashes of color on the forehead and cheeks.

Said one student who was unsuspectingly roped in on the way back from class, "I'm not really sure what's going on here... but I like it!"

Celebrated all over India since ancient times, Holi was originally an agricultural festival celebrating the arrival of spring. Holi is a time when people and nature alike throw off the gloom of winter and rejoice in the colors and liveliness of spring. It is a time to let loose.

Snowmageddon

Just when the snow had melted from December's blizzard, central Virginia was pummelled with another 10 inches of snowfall as part of one of the biggest snowstorms to hit the East Coast in years. They called it Snowmageddon. The following photos were contributed by Justin DeSmith '12, Brenda Edson, strategic communications manager, and Victor Gosnell, director of information technology.
