The City College of New York’s Undergraduate Student Government welcomes the Harlem community to the annual Harlemween party where children and teenagers trick-or-treat throughout the North Academic Center Ballroom for a night of scares.
“Harlemween represents a way to celebrate the children of the community and a safe Halloween where we’re going to play games, have music and candy. And it’s just a great way to give back and help the community because USG is always trying to help create a safe environment where we can have people feel comfortable and welcome at all times,” said Maria Santana, senator for liberal arts and sciences.
The Undergraduate Student Government consists of 32 members with eight executive positions and 24 class senators representing liberal arts and sciences, architecture, biomedical, education and engineering. Ehab Abdel-naby, vice president for Public Affairs, and Santana are lead party organizers.
This year’s theme is haunted carnival where a turnout of 200 guests is expected. Harlemween will take place on October 28, and for more information please click here.
