About to meet their maker: These cajitas on the steps of the Delph Courtyard are one of the many highlights of today's Dia de los Muretos celebration at the West campus.
Today is the day, and from 11 a.m. ’til 3 p.m. activities open to all are scheduled on the Delph Courtyard, as the West campus celebrates Dia de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead.
Live music, an art display and demonstration of “El Altar,” free food, cajita making and more are on the bill. You’ll also have a chance to build a cajita, or an honor box, in remembrance of a loved one or someone who was influential in your life — cajita boxes and supplies will be provided.
This event is sponsored by M.E.Ch.A. (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán- a student organization that promotes higher education, culture, and history), Hispanic Events Committee, and the Interdisciplinary Arts & Performance Club.
