Forget the ghosts and goblins: Thereโ€™s already plenty of scary stuff out there this year! Thatโ€™s why, this Halloween, the College of Charleston is making sure students stay safe and healthy with a weekend of fun festivities without the fright.

โ€œWe want our students to stay safe and healthy as our city and state work to limit the spread of COVID-19,โ€ said President Andrew T. Hsu in an email reminding all Cougars to think first โ€“ about their costumes, their personal safety and about the health of the community at large โ€“ when celebrating Halloween this year. โ€œWe want everyone to have a fun and safe Halloween and for our entire campus community to continue to be proud of the way that our students behave and represent themselves and our university.โ€

The College has a wide range of events โ€“ from contests to drive-ins โ€“ planned for Friday, Oct. 30, and Saturday, Oct. 31. A highlight of the weekend will certainly be โ€œHalloween Yoga with President Hsuโ€ in the Cistern Yard at 5 p.m. on Friday. The โ€œgentle Yinyasaโ€ style class will feature President Hsu and will include the Hsu Pose. Space is limited, and registration is now full. A full list of activities is below.

โ€œOur goal is for all students who participate in events to have a happy, fun and safe Halloween,โ€ saysย Christine Workman, director of student life.ย โ€œThis time of year is always a lot of fun, and the College has plenty of great activities planned to help students stay safe and healthy without missing out on a fun Halloween experience.โ€
