Zombie Walk

On October 31st, 2013 at 10:00a.m a zombie walk took over the University of Redlands that Halloween morning. This group of students wore the mask of the zombie in order to pose as debt-ridden and deceased students who were led by their mascot (a bulldog) to represent how the university's financial demands has taken control of its students, rendering them lifeless. This walk was a way for the students to stick it to the man (admissions office) and show them how increases in tuition have transformed them into lifeless humans that have given in to the universities demands of being a bulldog. Throughout the walk, our mascot was telling us to “dare to be different, you’ll fit right in” because that is how the university brands its prospective students. I even caught myself telling people that weren’t part of our walk to join us and be different because that is what the university would have wanted.
