Having a Little Fun at Halloween Time 2011

Whitney made delicious cupcakes for the occasion.
Bridgett Sheffer & Bryan Jacobs, COMM Advisors decorated their offices with Halloween creatures, black lights, hanging webs with spiders and gave out treats.
The Academic Advisement Center dressed up in their own way!
It got a little 'out of control' at the end of the day playing loud music and as you can see, dancing. Drew really knows how to entertain the group with his moves.
