Tulane University Dining Services by Sodexo is sponsoring a “Monster Mash” Wednesday (Oct. 21) to help students decompress from midterms.
Zombies, ghosts and goblins will join the undead for a spectacular celebration offering a healthy break from studying with attractions like a photo booth, prize wheel and dance floor. A professional disc jockey will provide music, while Tulane Dining will offer Halloween-themed refreshments.
The event takes inspiration from the success of Tulane Dining"s twice-yearly Cram Jam, a themed party held the week before finals.
“Monster Mash is something new we"re trying during midterms to see if the reaction will be as strong as the response we get to Cram Jam during finals week,” says Linda Lien-Ribardi, a marketing specialist for Sodexo. “We have a great assortment of spooky menu items that we"re sure students will enjoy.”
While sure to be delectable, Lien-Ribardi says the menu items carry names like River Rat Ribs, Frankenfingers, Jamboolaya, Vegetarian Zombie Brains and Graveyard cupcakes.
Monster Mash takes place from 10:30 p.m. until midnight in the Bruff Commons dining hall. Participating students must present their Tulane Splash Card for entry.
