Día de los Muertos, also known as Day of the Dead, is a Latin American holiday where families welcome the souls of their deceased loved ones. Although this holiday is thought to be a sad holiday, it is not! Dia de los Muertos is about celebration and to be reminded of the moments we shared with those who have passed. We invite the campus and surrounding community to come to and enjoy music, crafts, & performances with us!
At this event, there will an ofrenda (altar) in honor of Latina, Black, and Indigenous, and other women of color who have lost their lives to relationship violence.
