This longtime tradition established by students in the late 1980s is not only a highly anticipated event for the University, it is also open to and eagerly awaited by children and families from the local community.
This year's event will be held on Thursday, October 31 from 5-7 p.m.
Trick-or-Treating on the Lawn online events
