Dia de los Muertos College Night 11/1/07

Mariachi, folkloric dance, and traditional foods, oh my! Day of the Dead is the Mexican ritual to celebrate the unity between life and death and to honor the dead. Come fill your tummies with Mexican favorites and learn about the cultural significance of this 3000+ year-old tradition. After dinner, be dazzled by dancing by UCSC's own Los Mejicas and mariachi music by Sueo Norteo. Note: the Cowell Dining Hall will close at 2pm this day to prepare.
