Halloween is fast approaching, and while students are gearing up for midterms, there are several events taking place on campus that can help you get into the holiday spirit.
The CAs (Commuter Assistants) are hosting a Trick or Treat event on Wednesday, Oct. 25 from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm in the UC Ballroom 203, where you’ll be able to decorate and collect Halloween items and candy. If you’ve missed the CAs Halloween Carnival event, this would be a great opportunity to connect with other students and enjoy some candy in the process.
Also on Oct. 25, another Halloween event that is sure to keep your taste buds happy is the Halloween Bake Sale. The Global Medical Brigades Club (GMB) and the Biology Club are raising money for childhood cancer by hosting the Halloween Bake Sale. It will be from noon to 3 pm in the UC Lobby.
If that wasn’t enough to get you into the Halloween spirit, there is another Halloween Bake Sale that has a spooky twist. Delta Sigma Pi is hosting a two-day bake sale to raise money for their organization and the Ronald McDonald House on Monday, Oct. 30 and Tuesday, Oct. 31, from 11 am to 3 pm in the UC Lobby at the Student Table 2.
Have you ever made a candygram? Well, the Panhel Pal Candygrams event will give you the chance on Wednesday, Oct. 25 from 11:30 am to 2 pm in the UC Lobby. The Panhellenic Association will host the Candygrams event, where you can make Halloween-themed candygrams for your friends and family.
If you aren’t into sweets, the Future Teachers Association (FTA) welcomes you to join them to engage in one of the spookiest and most nerve-racking subjects of all time: math class! This event will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 24 from 7 to 8 pm in the haunted halls of PAC 215. You’ll be able to learn the tricks of using math to help students further their goals. Costumes are highly encouraged. You can also have the chance to expand your crafting skills by attending the Halloween Craft Night with Peer Assistant Leader (PAL) Jende. This event will take place on Saturday, Oct. 28 from noon to 1:30 pm in the Campbell Lounge 1.
Finish out the festive month with the Japanese Entertainment and Culture Club’s Halloween Watch Party that is taking place on Thursday, Oct. 26 from 5 to 6 pm in the University Center Room 116. Club members voted for this anime-themed event. Let’s see what your favorite anime is.
And if you’re good at solving mysteries, Circle K International’s Halloween Party invites you to join them for a game of Murder Mystery. You can wear a costume, but it isn’t required. This event will take place on Halloween from 3 to 4 pm in the Ruth S. Harley University Center in Rooms 118/119.
