Self Help Graphics artist Martha Carrillo is coming to campus to install a public alter on campus to honor
those who have passed away in our community.
Students and the campus community are welcome to add their own tributes to the altar after installation is complete.
Altars and oferendas are the center piece of Día de los Mu***os. While most altars are typically built in private homes or in cemeteries, they have grown to become larger, public constructions that represent entire communities of people.
