Hornet Halloween To All Members of the Campus Community: Sacramento State strives to be a welcoming and inclusive campus for all members of the Hornet Family. Our commitment to inclusion means that we should be considerate and respectful of one another. As you prepare to celebrate Halloween, please be thoughtful about our commitment to creating and maintaining a welcoming and inclusive campus environment. When putting together your costume, consider the following: • Does it mock cultural or religious symbols (e.g. dreadlocks, headdresses, afros, bindis, etc.)? • Does it trivialize human suffering or oppression (portraying a houseless person, or someone living in a prison or jail)? • Does it lean in to stereotypes or attempt to represent an entire culture or ethnicity? Unsure if your costume might be offensive? Consider going in a different direction. And don't be afraid to ask questions. You are welcome to call one of the units listed below for guidance.
