As the streets of Toronto were filling up with excited trick-or-treaters, O’Gradys pub was filling up with MBPers; this year on Halloween, graduate students from MBP and other departments came together to celebrate Halloween, enjoy good music, food, beer and great company. The incredible Halloween costumes included characters from movies, commercials, video games and comic books (with Waldo somewhere in between). It was a great event to welcome new graduate students and show old graduate student why MBP is an amazing department.

Happy Halloween!
