With October Recess fast approaching, one might miss the excitement provided by events over the break. Fortunately, there is much to experience once the semester resumes, with Halloween and other autumnal festivities just around the corner. Here are five events to look forward to after the October break.

To get into the spirit of fall, a pumpkin carving and seed roasting event is happening in the MUB. The event is being held on Oct. 21 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Be sure to show up early, as there is only a limited amount of supplies.
