On Monday November 5th the Spanish Club held a Day of the Dead event. Like every year, the club put together a traditional altar, using marigolds, candles, decorated skulls and other things. This time, the altar celebrated late relatives of the club's members. Nayeli Romo shared with the audience her experience of Day of the Dead in Mexico, and Dr. Gregory Stephens talked about the meaning of death among Latin Americans. After breaking up in teams to compete in a scavenger hunt, the students enjoyed the Hispanic dishes prepared by the club.
