Alumni Events

Spartan alumni families and friends are invited back to campus for an afternoon of Halloween fun. Enjoy festive decorations, fang-tastic crafts, sweet treats, and plenty of smiles as YCP student organizations serve as our “trunkers,” handing out candy to all our little ghouls and goblins!

This event is designed for children ages 14 and under. Due to the popularity of this event, preregistration is required.
