Division of Housing and Food Service celebrated Halloween on Thursday by inviting the children of the custodial and food service staff to come trick-or-treating.
Almetris Duren Hall and Kinsolving Dormitory held a carnival for the children in an effort to show students’ appreciation for the custodial staff who clean the halls daily and prepare student meals, said Samantha Perry, Duran hallway coordinator.
Both residence hall councils and residence assistants from each dorm decorated halls to provide a safe place for children to tour and interact with students dressed up in full costumes, and even participate in an interactive pirate shipwreck on the fifth floor.
“We want to create a positive experience for the kids of our support staff, and for the support staff themselves,” Perry said. “The students want to support our support. [The Halloween carnival] exposes children to good feelings about college in general. When they look back ten years from now, we hope this is a memory that stands out.”
