Beavers:

 

With Halloween almost here, we wanted to provide helpful information for your awareness. If you choose to celebrate, please do so in a responsible, safe, respectful and healthy way. Look out for one another and know what resources and support are available.

 

If you celebrate Halloween, remember to wear a face covering as outlined in our physical distancing and face covering policies. A Halloween mask won’t protect you or others from COVID-19. Maintain six feet distance from people outside of your household and only attend social get-togethers with 10 or few people, whether indoors or outdoors. You can make safer choices to reduce the risk and spread of COVID-19 by checking out neighborhood decorations with members of your household. Or, stay home and connect with other students at Oregon State’s online Halloween events. Regardless of what you do, our Halloween at OSU website provides additional resourceful and programmatic information that may be helpful to you and your peers. 

Please keep in mind that as members of Beaver Nation, we each play a role in creating an environment that is safe, particularly free of sexual assault and other forms of violence. The Survivor Advocacy & Resource Center is available to all OSU community members in need of support.

 

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 recognize that Halloween will be different this year. Yet, our actions and behavior should remain the same by looking out for each other’s wellbeing, respecting one another, avoiding cultural appropriation, acting when we see something wrong, and knowing when to call for help.

 

Go Beavs!
