Halloween Costume Contest Fundraiser Results!

The McAnulty College and Graduate School of Liberal Arts held its first annual Halloween Costume Contest Fundraiser to benefit the Office of Multicultural Affairs' Turkey Drive. Through the extreme generosity of the faculty, staff, and students, we raised $150 for the cause! Not only was it extremely fun, it was so fulfilling to know that we helped our neighbors in need.

The level of creativity for some of the costumes was truly outstanding!
