Homecoming is an American tradition that welcomes alumni back to their high schools and colleges. Homecoming can be a week-long or weekend-long event that often centers around a central activity, like a sporting event. At Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹, Homecoming is celebrated for a weekend in the Fall semester around a home American Football game. The weekend includes other events though, like the Homecoming Parade, Tailgating, and the Kiss on the K.

Halloween is celebrated on Oct. 31 every year. While this is a holiday celebrated in many countries, in America it is celebrated through things like dressing up in costumes, carving pumpkins into Jack-o-Lanterns, watching scary movies or going to haunted house attractions, and trick-or-treating.

To celebrate Halloween at Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹, you can dress up and attend Flashes Trick-or-Treat Day! On Thursday, Oct. 31 from 3-5 p.m., you are invited to go office to office collecting candy throughout the lower level, first floor, and second floor of the Kent Student Center and the first floor of the Library. All students and children of students are invited to attend. This is similar to the American trick-or-treat tradition where children go door-to-door in their neighborhoods collecting candy. The first 500 attendees will receive a free event tote bag to collect their candy in! Then from 4-6 p.m. in Kent Student Center room 218, join FAB for the Flashes' Boo Bash after party! There will be snack, games, and photo booths.
