Historic Haunted Hotel
Historic Haunted Hotel aims to provide a safe alternative to Halloween events on campus. The event provides a haunted house experience through the basement of Gila and then a walk through the back alleyway to learn about campus resources such as Narcan training, TACO, and UAEMS. This event has been going on for around 20 years and is a beloved tradition on campus. Each year the theme changes so make sure to stop in and see what they put together this year!
