The "Day of the Dead"—traditionally a Mexican and Latin American holiday to honor loved ones who have died—is a fascinating tradition associated with the Catholic holidays of All Saint's Day (November 1) and All Soul's Day (November 2).

Enjoy delicious tamales and explore the display of altars made by students.

This is also an opportunity to learn about the Foreign Language Department and its programs of study at home and abroad.

Come and celebrate with us!
