BOO!
Halloween isn’t the scariest thing on a college campus
Happy Halloween, #HigherEd Pros. No matter if you are handing out candy, dressing up or knocking doors for sweet treats, Halloween is not the scariest day on campus. As I look back and look around, there are moments that are far scarier than a ghoulish costume or a haunted hayride - and I think you may agree.
Dr. De Veau’s list of the top 10 scariest things to happen on campus:
10. New regulations from the DOE & OCR Dropping on a Friday Afternoon
9. Being ‘essential personnel’ and must report to work when your child has a ‘snow day’
8 - tie: Chairing the new dining provider RFP process
8 - tie: Chairing the new provost search process
6. Selecting a Spring Weekend concert headliner
5. Attending the Spring Weekend concert
4. Running into a student off campus in the liquor store and you have more in your cart than they do
3. Explaining FRPA to a parent
2. Being an alum of your athletic team’s biggest rival
1. Being notified that your Student Information System is now end of life and won’t be supported any longer
Happy Halloween folks!
