Reminder: residences to put some Boo in kids’ U tonight

University employees are reminded to bring their children (or grandkids) to Vanier Hall’s Winclare C room at 6 p.m. tonight—Thursday, October 29—for Boo at the U, a friendly pre-Halloween organized by Residence Life staff and members of the RezEvents student committees.

Little trick-or-treaters will each receive their own treat bag, then make the rounds to activity stations for games, crafts and creepy candy. All children must be accompanied by a parent.

Admission to the event is free, but attendees are invited to bring a canned good for donation to the Iona College student food bank. Organizers extend thanks to campus union locals CUPE 1393 and Unifor 2458 for their monetary support to the annual event.
