Congrats to our In Character Costume Contest 2021 Winners! This year for the first time we had more faculty and staff costume submissions than student entrants, so big thanks to our UNCA faculty and staff for stepping up, donning a cool costume, and sharing your good spirit with our campus! We have 2 faculty staff winners and 2 student winners this year. All winners will receive a surprise collection of campus and local prizes. Thanks so much to our sponsors Rosetta’s Kitchen, Sovereign Remedies, our friendly library neighbor the Smoothie Lab, Ramsey Library’s own CrAFT Studio. Without you generous folks our gift bags would be so much lighter and less exciting! Deep thanks also go to our library staff who made this happen and naturally to our amazing, costume wearing UNCA student, faculty, and staff family. Ya’ll are the best! Thanks to our Ramsey Library staff also for voting in our winners from all the contestants. With no further ado, here are our 4 winners:
