Mann Hall was transformed into a festive celebration as Think College Vermont hosted its 11th annual Halloween party! Students, mentors, and guests gathered for an afternoon filled with laughter, games, delicious food, and the joy of making new friends. Despite a change in weather after ten years of perfect conditions, the spirit of celebration remained as strong as ever.
The event was more than just costumes and candy—it was a chance for everyone to connect, socialize, and build lasting friendships in a welcoming and inclusive environment. From pumpkin-themed games to tasty treats, the party was a hit with attendees of all ages.
We were thrilled to welcome members from the UVM Chapter of Best Buddies and the Occupational Therapy program, whose energy and enthusiasm greatly contributed to the festive atmosphere. Their participation highlighted the strong community partnerships that support Think College VT.
Jesse Suter, Director of the Center on Disability and Community Inclusion (CDCI), joined the celebration and connected with students and alumni, reinforcing the importance of leadership and inclusion in our community.
In a delicious twist, Bryan Dague of Think College Vermont and Stirling Peebles held a friendly chili cook-off, ending in a flavorful tie that delighted everyone. It was a perfect example of the camaraderie and joy that defines Think College VT’s Halloween tradition.
Thanks to everyone who came out and made this Halloween party a spooktacular success! We’re already looking forward to next year’s celebration.
