Over the past few weeks, HLA doors have been transformed into holiday magic for the HLA Holiday Door Decorating Contest.
We were thrilled to have 11 participants in our inaugural year. The creativity, teamwork, and holiday cheer on display made judging no easy task—it was clear that everyone had a great time decking the halls!
A huge thank you to Dr. Cary Mitchell and Dr. Mike Dana for taking time out of their busy schedules to judge our very first HLA Holiday Door Decorating Contest. Their support and festive spirit truly made this event special!

And now… our winners!
1st Place: Meyers Lab



2nd Place: Main Office

Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this event such a success. We hope this marks the beginning of a fun new holiday tradition for HLA!
