Despite the windy and cold weather, campus was full of Halloween spirit on Friday.

As part of a number of Halloween festivities across campus and even off, the Student Committee of Programming events (SCOPE) hosted SCOPE Frights and Delights.

A number of recognized student organizations (RSOs) came to the Bixler/Gerber Quad to table for a trick-or-treat style event.

Organizations saw great success in getting their names out to both new and old students. Some of the most ‘popular’ tables at the event included The Center for Student Engagement, Leadership and Orientation (CSELO) and the University of New Haven Robotics club.

Robotics Club President, Emma Graybill shared the club’s secret for success and said, “So with the tabling we really focused on being super out there and friendly to people (greeting people and making eye contact when going near the table) to make them feel welcome and engaged.”

Many of the organizations gave out fun gifts, however the Robotics table was so popular that they didn’t have enough gifts for all.

“If we were to do anything differently I would have asked for more pumpkins as people wanted to take them but we didn’t have enough for everyone,” Graybill said.

This wasn’t the only obstacle the event faced as SCOPE wished they had prepared activities that were better suited for the occasion.

“Something we would have done differently was provide more activities that fit with the weather. It was super windy so some of our supplies were blowing away,” said Mia Zullo, SCOPE’s Charger Engagement Director

SCOPE often deals with hiccups coming from supplies and vendors when planning for events, however for this event the obstacle was a factor they couldn’t negotiate with, weather.

Despite the challenges faced by weather, SCOPE is still proud of the event as it was an accumulation of effort and teamwork.

“SCOPE as a whole is always proud of our events. to our events and enjoy themselves,” Zullo said. “We all put in a lot of work to support each other and our events.”

While this was the only event that fell on the holiday itself, SCOPE had been building up the anticipation for Halloween steadily with events each day of the week. Students participated in Glow and Gore Golf, a trip to Phantom Fall Fest at Lake Compounce and a Stuff a Reading Buddy Event.

SCOPE’s Halloween events fully concluded Sunday, with a trip to Six Flags.
