Spooky and Creative Halloween Event
On Oct. 31, PVCC hosted a Halloween Event in the Bolick Student Center. Students, professors, and staff were dressed up for the event. Assistant Director of Student Accessibility & Accommodations Sandra Bullins was dressed as a witch, and her service dog was dressed up too. Student Success Adviser Debbie Ashby was dressed up in a costume as well.
There was a costume contest with prizes. The categories were most creative, most original, best swiftie, best duo, superhero, Barbie/Ken, cutest, spookiest, and best use of recycled materials. Two advisers participated in the contest. Bullins won 1st place for spookiest costume in the contest. Ashby was in 2nd place for the most creative in the contest. Students clapped to vote for the winners who got the prizes.
Mary-Evelyn Sellars, the coordinator of student life and campus engagement said one of the winners donated three or four costumes to help the poor. Sellars said, “I loved the creativity that the students put into their costumes. I tried to pick categories that would appeal to the masses because I wanted as many students as possible to participate. I’m already planning for next year to be even bigger!”
At the Halloween party, there was food provided to the faculty and students, including cupcakes, pizza, and chips. In the Bolick Student Center, there was a photo booth so students with the costumes and not wearing the costumes could take a couple of photos for free. A lot of other students who were not in the contest also wore costumes. The Halloween Event ran from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
After the contest, Kemper Steele, the senior director of advising and transfer, announced that they would be taking photos outside near the patio.
PVCC student Jacob Fitzgerald said, “The party was so great; it was nice to get a break from studying and enjoy some good food and see all the very creative and spooky costumes people were wearing! The photo booth had a nice touch, and teachers even participated, and they had the best costumes for sure.”
