The break between and after classes turned into a real treat for 糖心vlog
students on Thursday.
Students enjoyed chocolate abuelita, sugar skulls and pan dulce.
The treats were part of the annual Dia de los Muertos Celebration in the Bristlecone
Building on the Carson City campus.
Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead is a traditional Mexican celebration that honors
deceased loved ones and heroes.
Students also got into the spirit of the occasion by having their faces painted.
One of the main attractions of the event is the elaborately decorated altars, which
were created by students of the Latino Leadership Academy and the Associated Students
of Western Nevada. They were judged by Counseling Services Director Piper McCarthy,
Admissions and Records Director and Registrar Dianne Hilliard and Director of Financial
Assistance JW Lazzari.
Congratulations to winner Lupe Santiago and her SI Session Team and runner-up Cristina
Reyes and her SI Session Team.
Thank you, students, for sharing a special glimpse of your culture and providing a
wonderful event to help celebrate the richness of a treasured Mexican tradition, said
LLA Coordinator Denise Stout.
