International Trick-Or-Treat!

Friday, October 29
2:00pm - 4:00pm

Kick-off Halloween weekend by participating in our International Trick-or-Treat Tour! We know many international students and scholars have never had the opportunity to dress-up for Halloween, so we had to make sure you had the chance to participate in one of our favorite holidays of the year!

OISS has partnered up with Graduate Housing, MacMillan Center, McDougal GSL, and Yale China for a trick-or-treat tour on this side of campus! Each of our offices will have stations set-up where you can stop by, say “Trick-Or-Treat”, and get some Halloween candy.

Costumes for this event are HIGHLY encouraged (basically required), as this is the whole point of Halloween and Trick-Or-Treating! The OISS team is busy preparing our costumes as we speak…

You must register to attend, and this event is for adults only, per COVID guidelines.

Details about the trick-or-treat route will be sent to those who register for the event a day or two before the event.
