This year’s theme, “Unidos Somos Más” (Together, We Are More), reminds us that we are stronger when we gather, remember, and celebrate together. This event is free and open to all students, faculty, staff, and community members. Bring a friend, bring your family, and come honor the loved ones who came before us. Want to help bring this celebration to life? Thursday, October 29, from 3:30 to 7 PM We’re looking for volunteers to support the altar, activity tables, and setup.
