If you know anything about Mexican culture, you know that the start of November means it’s time to honor the lives of departed family members and friends! If you are a student who observes The Day of the Dead, the Multicultural Student Affairs (MSA) office encourages you to assist them in setting up the alter and bringing items to honor your loved ones. The alter will be built on Friday, but it will stay on display for the first week of November. Food, drinks, and music will also be provided to assist with the fun.
