On Halloween, a few of us handed out gift bags to patients in the children’s hospital for their reverse trick or treating event. It was a great experience to visit them and hand out treats so they wouldn’t miss out on Halloween. It’s always a fun time to see them in their costumes too.

Thanks to Megan Ballengee, Danielle Gorman, Gwen Gray, Gabe Harman, Jill Kline, Haley Lykins, and Kimberly Moeller for helping with the barbie instagram reel we posted this week! I appreciate all your help!

We had another successful escape room event during Welcome Week this year! We had 150 students register with a few dozen on the waiting list. The students had a great time and that is thanks to all of those who helped this year!

You can see the photos of the groups and their different times they escaped here. 

Thanks to our room helpers and escape room planning team!

Some others we need to thank: Ellis Library Circulation and the Journalism Library for letting us use all the ipads; Ellis Library shelving for shelving all the books we used during the event; Gayle Mooney and Jacqueline Eiben for helping order all the items we needed; Sheila Voss for helping with some escape room set up; and everyone who volunteered for the escape room run through back in July; And to anyone else we may have missed. 🙂

It takes a lot of people to help with this event and we appreciate all the time, big or small, you’ve contributed to make this fun event happen for the new Mizzou students.

This week we posted a reel on instagram featuring Jara from Vet Med. Thanks, Jara!
