The English Society threw their third annual Halloween party on October 30. This year’s theme, Frankenstein, coincides with the 200th anniversary of Mary Shelley’s classic book.
Previous year’s themes have revolved around the literature of Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King, adding an educational component to the party.
“A lot of different classes are actually reading Frankenstein this year, so we’re hoping those students will also come,” said Jana Heyman, an English professor and society moderator..
The festivities included food, games, prizes and various student presentations.
“We have a student that’s going to dress up as Mary Shelley and give kinda a little background information,” Heyman said.
Students are encouraged to dress up and may bring their children to the kid-friendly party. Faculty and staff are welcome to the event.
“We encourage all faculty and staff to attend,” said Professor Lisa Telesca, who is also hosting the event.
The party took place in the CI building, room 159 the day before Halloween.
