Duke Celebrates 100 Years of Tricks and Treats

To create a Duke Centennial Halloween, the Duke Innovation Co-Lab had the right tools.

When University Communications and Marketing looked to create the pumpkin with the centennial logo, staff turned to the Co-Lab to use its laser technology.

The pumpkin was etched on the Co-Lab’s laser cutter, which is a very popular tool, said Michael Faber, senior manager of academic technologies at the Co-Lab. It is typically used for etching or cutting thin wood and acrylic.

The laser is available for all members of the Duke community to use on projects. Co-Lab hours can be found on the Co-Lab website.

Halloween isn’t all pumpkins and candy on campus. While the children will go haunting for trick or treats tonight, others will use the occasion for spiritual purposes.

Originally, the All Hallows' Eve service was a festival in the church that recalls the faith and witness of those who have carried on and cherished the Christian faith throughout history. Duke Chapel will hold its traditional All Hallows’ Eve service tonight at 10:30 p.m. to celebrate the church's continuing communion with these men and women and to memorialize the recently deceased.

The service comprises scripture readings, testimonies about saints and anthems.
