Day of the Dead Celebration

On November 2nd, with the support of faculty members and students, the Spanish Club hosted an event to celebrate the Day of the Dead. The traditional altar this year commemorated three Hispanic women --Celia Cruz, Frida Kahlo, and Selena Quintanilla. Attendants learned about the religious syncretism of the celebration, its traditional music, and the Day of the Dead parade that took place in Mexico City this year.
