The Auburn University chapter of American Institute for Architecture
Students will sponsor its 20th annual College of Architecture, Design
and Construction Pumpkin Carve Friday October 31th in the Dudley
Courtyard.
The public is invited to view the array of “spooktacular” jack-o-
lantern designs from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
“The pumpkin carve has grown from a small student competition to a
community event that attracts hundreds of
people,” noted Dan Bennett,
dean of AU’s College of Architecture, Design and Construction. “Each
year visitors are amazed at the traditional Halloween and current
event themes that are used by our students in their designs for the
pumpkin carve.”
This year, more than 400 pumpkins, many with intricate designs and
current event themes, will be judged on creativity, appearance and
craftsmanship by university, civic and business leaders from the
Auburn-Opelika area.
The college encourages the community and students from other
curricula to come out from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. to participate in
carving; the competition is open to all members of the University.
