Photo gallery Pumpkin artistry: Creating on a spherical, orange canvas
Creating jack-o’-lanterns brought out the artistry in students who took part in a pumpkin carving event outside Union South on Wednesday, Oct. 26. The event was hosted by the Wisconsin Union Directorate Global Connections Committee and the WUD Cuisine Committee. Students and campus members were encouraged to carve a free pumpkin and the seeds were collected for an upcoming WUD Cuisine cooking demonstration.
