Halloween is always one of the most fun days on campus! 🎃 Our staff and kids had a great time dressing up and trick-or-treating across campus. Many departments showed off their creativity with themed costumes and our kids joined in by designing their own. It wouldn’t be Halloween without plenty of candy and there was no shortage of sweet treats and smiles!

As spooky season approaches, let’s keep fun and safety hand in hand! Whether your little ones are trick-or-treating, attending a fall festival or dressing up for school events, take a moment to review a few simple safety tips such as wearing visible costumes, checking candy and staying alert while walking or driving.

A few extra precautions can help make Halloween a night full of treats, not tricks!
