Starting tonight, you'll see Hopkins in a whole new light. Or, make that lights. While you've been reveling in fall at Homewood, Wendy Brody, wife of President William R. Brody, has been dreaming of winter. And at 5:15 p.m., she and President Brody will flip the switch on thousands of bulbs studding decorations that will shine above North Charles Street throughout the holiday season.

The illumination is the university's contribution to the Greater Homewood area's first annual Community of Lights, part of the Greater Homewood Renaissance plan for a sparkling neighborhood. The place to be to see the magic happen is in front of the Eisenhower Library. Above, Wendy Brody gets ready with some of the campus's Facilities Management team (from the left): David Ashwood, Fred Quaster and Joe Znovena.
