Students can get a taste of Hispanic culture while the Spanish club observes the Day of the Dead holiday celebrated in hispanic countries.
Hispanics celebrate El Dia Los Muertos to remember family and friends who have died. Gifts and foods are set out for the dead in remembrance of their lives.
"[El dia los Muertos] is like a mix between the American Halloween and Memorial Day," said Spanish professor Eloisa Briones.
An "ofrenda" is set up at Kaufmann Hall inside room 230 to recognize and offer treats to the dead. The ofrenda will be on display until Thursday.
