The Vanderbilt community is gearing up for a host of free Halloween-themed events and activities over the next few days. From an in-person movie event with free food trucks and giveaways, to a special fall-themed dinner, to a haunted tour of a campus landmark, to trivia, murder mystery and much more, there’s no shortage of opportunities for students to celebrate the holiday this year on campus or virtually while continuing to do their part to slow the spread of COVID-19.
