Mitchell St. brimmed with Halloween spirit on Oct. 28 with Trunk or Treat. The Office of Career and Student Development sponsored the event, inviting RSOs to set up trunks and engage in ghoulish fun.
One trunk turned into Frankenstein’s monster holding candy, while another featured a referee on a football field.
President of the Medical Laboratory Science Society (MLSS) Miracle Alexander explains why MLSS decided to participate.
“We want to interact with the kids—we’re all a very fun-spirited group,” Alexander said. “We did scare a couple of them, though.”
To kids, Halloween is all about getting dressed up and candy, but getting older may change it to horror movies or parties. Trunk or Treat lets students take part in the version of Halloween that was lost with age by having them give that same experience to kids.
Families clad in costumes trunk-or-treated along Mitchell Dr. A group of students dressed as ghosts were spooked when the Ghost Busters theme played.
Themed trunks overflowed with candy and scares alike. Freshman psychology major Char’Niya Lars describes how the costumes lightened her mood.
“I love seeing all the little kids dressed up; it really brings joy to my heart,” Lars said.
Student Affairs worked to ensure a memorable Halloween experience for everyone, which did not go unnoticed. Parent Charles Deandre describes the atmosphere as “nice, family-oriented and safe” and likened the event to “a big neighborhood trick or treat.”
Trunk or Treat offered one last taste of the Halloween spirit before the Christmas countdown began.
