“Halloweek” at the Wisconsin Union
As Halloween creeps up on us, we, at the Wisconsin Union, have some treats (no tricks) planned for you.
I met up with Brennan Bahr, Wisconsin Union Directorate (WUD) vice president of external relations, to learn more about the Union’s plans for a scary-fun week!
“Each year, we offer events and activities to celebrate Halloween on campus,” Brennan said. “It’s gives people a space to celebrate and enjoy the holiday together.”
