Beavers:

With Halloween approaching, we are reaching out to provide some helpful information for your awareness. If you choose to celebrate, please do so in a responsible, safe, respectful and healthy way. We hope you will look out for one another and know what resources are available to help you have a Halloween full of treats instead of tricks.

While we know there will be events happening off campus, we want to ensure that you are aware of the free Halloween activities being held across campus as well. Regardless of what activities you engage in, our goal is to provide you with tips that will help you celebrate Halloween in a safe way that protects you and your peers from harm. Please keep in mind that as members of our Beaver community, we each play a role in creating an environment that is safe and free of sexual assault and other forms of violence. To learn more about OSU’s Halloween activities and find resources on how to be safe and get support, visit beav.es/Halloween.

As an Oregon State University student, you are responsible for your behavior on and off campus. Please make sure you are familiar with the OSU Code of Student Conduct to avoid any potential university sanctions. We also expect students to act in a manner that is consistent with local, state, and federal laws.

We recognize that Halloween creates opportunities for students to have fun; yet, our actions and behavior should remain consistent with our values. Let’s look out for each other’s well-being, respect one another, avoid cultural appropriation, act when we see something wrong, and know when to call for help. We hope each member of our community will have a memorable and safe Halloween.

Go Beavs!
