Okay, maybe that\u2019s a subjective title. If you measure success in smiles, however, it\u2019s spot on. Just look through the pictures UNMC posted to Flickr<\/a>! Everybody was having a good time.<\/p>\n

Post-Pie Apocalypse: Fran Higgins (Sailor Moon) pied Kim Ager, and McKenzie Stevens pied Jim Temme.<\/p><\/div>\n

Even the folks with whipped cream dripping off their faces were smiling. The money donated for a chance to “pie” someone did<\/em> go to the Student Senate, so what’s not to smile about.<\/p>\n

SAHP had a pumpkin carving\/decorating contest and healthy potluck. Allied Health students helped decorate 40 bags to get ready for Child Life Trick-or-Treating. (See photos below)<\/p>\n

Over 15 Allied Health students from various programs walked around with the in-patients who were unable to go trick-or-treating.\u00a0Some carried bags, some pushed IV poles, some passed out goodies as the kids came around the atrium. They also escorted the\u00a0children\u00a0to judge a pumpkin carving contest.<\/p>\n

Whether you donned your Spirit Week apparel, volunteered, carved, decorated, scavenged<\/a>, made it to the photobooth for a silly dress-up shot, watched or participated in the costume contest and pie-ing, ate popcorn at the popcorn bar, got a free koozie and hand sanitizer, coffee, and scone, or partook in the truck vendor’s wares for lunch, I think you’ll agree that this Spirit Week was terrific!<\/p>\n

A\u00a0big thank-you to UNMC public relations for organizing this week of appreciation. Looking forward to next year!\u00a0\u00a0
