Events will include a carnival, trick-or-treating, cookie decorating, a costume contest, kid-friendly crafts, an ooey gooey party, Halloween photo opportunities and haunted house. Campus residence halls, Student Government Association, Greek organizations, Wellness Center and other student organizations work together to make this a fun, free evening for all.
