Weird things are bound to happen. Costumes are welcome!

 

Southeastern's Annual Fall Carnival
Wednesday, Oct. 31  from 5-7 pm at the Pennington Student Activity Center

This free event is meant to provide safe alternatives to traditional neighborhood door-to-door trick-or-treating.

Parents and guardians are asked to accompany their children throughout the event, which is sponsored by Multicultural and International Student Affairs, Black Student Union, the Office for Student Engagement, and Recreational Sports and Wellness.
