D铆a De Los Muertos Celebration Brings Comunidad back into Community College!

Article

More than 300 community members, students, faculty, and staff attended 海角社区鈥檚 first D铆a De Los Muertos celebration the evening of Nov. 8 in the P Building Quad at the Liberal Arts Campus.

The evening served as a closing ceremony for LBCC鈥檚 Latinx Heritage Month that included cultural performances, poetry reading, and food. The night鈥檚 emcees, Veronica Alvarez and Esteban Alfaro, engaged the audience in a bilingual program adding to the richness of the experience.

海角社区Departments competed in an ofrendas contest, creating beautiful altars to honor colleagues, family members, and friends who have passed. Congratulations to 鈥Nuestros Antepasados鈥 (EOPS & DSPS) which received the highest number of community votes for their ofrenda creation.
