El Día de los Muertos

The Day of the Dead 

Friday, November 4, Dickinson students gathered on Britton Plaza with Piñatas, hot chocolate, sweets, and Mexican music to celebrate El Día de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead). El Dia de los Muertos is a traditional Mexican holiday honoring both death and the cycle of life. During late October into early November, neighbors gather in local cemeteries to share food, music, and fun with their extended community, both living and departed. The celebration acknowledges that we still have a relationship with our ancestors and loved ones that have passed away.

Hosted by The Spanish Club, Reed House, and Archaeology House. 

E.U. Special Representative for Southern Mediterranean, Bernardino León Gross, to give lecture on Arab Spring: A European Perspective.

Protest movements and uprisings continue to spread in the Arab world, taking different shape according to local political structures and social dynamics. The trend poses knotty challenges to European Union policy makers as they try to keep up with the breakneck speed of developments.

This event is sponsored by the Clarke Forum for Contemporary Issues and the Department of Spanish and Portuguese.
