Alfred State is once again opening the doors to the SLC park-space and leadership suites for our wider community to bring their children for a trick-or-treat event and we invite you to be a collaborative partner!  

• Date - Friday, October, 30th
• Location - 3rd Floor of Alfred States Student Leadership Center
• Time- 5pm to 7pm

There are a few ways to be involved:

• Celebrate your campus affinities while engaging in this spirited community engagement event by signing your club/department/class up to have a table in the SLC to hand out "treats" to the community "treaters"
• Can't donate your time but want to help with supplies? Donate candy or Halloween-themed swag to be handed out by campus organizations on the night.
• Looking for something fun to do with your family, dress up and pilot those costumes with your children for a warm "trick-or-treat" experience in the SLC and help us spread the word to the wider community (we can even print a poster for you to put up where folks in wider community can see).
  • Student Unions is further supporting the event by screening a festive spooky-season classic (yet to be determined) as they have done in the past.

For sign up to support this event complete our community trick-or-treat table sign-up form (using your Alfred State credentials). If you have any questions, please email civicengagement@alfredstate.edu
