The Student Programming Council will hold it’s first ever Halloween party on Oct. 28 at 8 p.m at the WUC Ballrooms. The ‘Nightmare on SPC Street’ will be free to FIU students with ID and $5 for non-FIU students.
The event is a collaboration between The Resident Hall Association and SPC, with RHA assisting SPC with promotion and encouraging housing residents to attend. Entertainment will be provided by Power Parties, which has handled other recent SPC events like Summer Splash and FIU Live.
The event will have security present, partly to stall anyone from bringing banned substances. According to the FIU Student Handbook’s Policies and Regulations, Title 6A, University organizations and clubs are to adhere to Florida Law as is relates to alcohol consumption. SPC president Catherine Vega doesn’t suspect there will be any issues with alcohol or drugs.
“Within the last couple of years that I’ve been here, we really haven’t had any issues with alcohol or drugs,” she said. “The students have been very respectful at our events.”
In addition, costumes that cover the face will not be allowed as a precaution.
Food and drinks will be served at the event, which Vega expects to have between 100-150 students in attendance.
