Mississippi State graduate students paint pumpkins and enjoy the crisp fall weather outside Magruder Hall. Hosted by the Graduate School, the seasonal gathering offers a creative break from the academic routine and kicks off a series of Halloween events on campus. The festivities continue Friday [Oct. 30] with the Graduate School’s annual and highly anticipated haunted hall walkthrough, a tradition that welcomes the campus community to both tricks and treats while offering helpful resources for those looking to continue their academic journey.
