Library Services, Latino Services & Diversity Programming Board are proud to sponsor RCC’s observance of Día de los Muertos at all three campuses.
Día de los Muertos is a holiday to remember loved ones who have passed. Typically celebrated on November first and second, this tradition is celebrated in Mexico and other Latin American countries. Visit our ofrendas on campus to learn more about the history and symbolism of this custom. We invite you to participate by bringing a small photo of a departed loved one to include on the ofrenda or to leave a note of remembrance. Enjoy a delicious pastry and take in the colorful displays, which remind us of the importance of gratitude, reflection and community.
