This past Saturday the Office of
Off-Campus Living & Commuting Student Services hosted its fifth annual
Halloween House Decorating Contest in which student’s decorated their
off-campus houses to show their spooky Halloween Hofstra Pride! The main goal
of this event is to show the community that the students want to be involved in
the neighborhood and to foster positive connections within their communities.
The seven entered houses were judged based on
creativity, originality, and overall curb appeal. The students did a
magnificent job of letting their creative side loose by draping spider webs
along the shrubbery and tying ghost streamers to their trees. All of the houses donned pumpkins, and some
even had haystacks on the stoop!
Every house was decorated
differently, allowing the unique personalities of the students who live there
to shine through in this autumnal wonderland. The students excitedly held their
participation plastic pumpkins filled to the brim with candy while the judges
looked at the houses. Everyone was super excited to be there; the students
stood outside of their houses on the windy October afternoon with chattering
teeth, gigantic smiles and lots of candy!
The next community event the Office of Off-Campus Living & Commuting Student Services is hosting our annual Shake a Rake program, where students volunteer to help senior community members. The event takes place on Saturday, November 16th from 9 a.m. to noon. If you are interested in volunteering for the Shake a Rake program, email commuters@hofstra.edu or call 5164633469
