Halloween Fun at Bierce
Need a place to donate your leftover candy? Bring it to Bierce! We are hosting a few fun themed activities on Thursday to celebrate All Hallows’ Eve.
There will be a photobooth set-up in Joe LaRose’s old office, candy at the service desks and a fun Search-A-Roo Halloween themed activity to win a study room for pre-finals week.
Volunteers are needed to staff a table in the lobby from 10am-2pm to handout candy and the activity.
Be sure to encourage your students (and colleagues) to get in the spirit and dress up!
