HAPPY HALLOWEEN !

Sixty-four EMCC students gathered at the Golden Triangle campus this week to compete in the annual Pumpkin Decorating Contest. Divided into 23 teams, the contestants received pumpkins, a wide assortment of odds-and-ends and one hour with which to showcase their creative spirit – and learn about teamwork along the way. The contest is part of the college’s Quality Enhancement Plan, which focuses on teamwork and problem-solving skills. Judges evaluated entries based on creativity, articulation of the theme and the pumpkin’s name. From all of us at EMCC, have a "boo-tiful" Halloween.
