In celebration of Surgical Technology Week, the Surgical Technology and Veterinary Services program will host a “scare the cold away” clothing drive, and a haunted O.R. event on Halloween.
On Oct. 28 through Nov. 1, individuals can donate winter hats, gloves and boots to the various bins on campus.
“We’re doing it for Service Learning and we started the idea on Surgical Technology Week and we decided to collect that stuff for the needy for winter time,” she said. “We’re going to collect winter hats, gloves and boots; new and gently used.”
In addition, she said the program will be hosing a Haunted O.R. event on Halloween day.
“We have a whole surgical lab, and it looks just like an operating room, so we’re going to make it into a haunted operating room,” Susan Willin-Muray said.
Students, faculty and staff members are welcome to walk through, “if they make it out alive,” Willin-Muray said jokingly.
“We’re trying to make it scary, we don’t want cutesy-haunted — we want scary,” she said.
The Haunted O.R. will be based on a live operating scene and will open during morning classes.
