Honoring Life, Celebrating Memory

Step into a space of reflection, beauty, and cultural tradition as the Joe Crowley Student Union hosts a stunning series of Día de los Muertos altar displays in honor of Latinx Heritage Month and the spirit of remembrance.

• Cultural symbolism and storytelling
• A quiet space for reflection and connection
• Opportunities to learn about Día de los Muertos traditions
