If you’ve been to the Cafe, seen the flags along the Bridge, or heard thunderous taiko drumming on campus this week, then you’ve probably guessed that this is International Education Week.
International Education Week is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide.
As part of the festivities, the Center for the Student Experience (CSE) has organized several special free events for the Art Center community to enjoy, including a celebration of the Mexican holiday El Día de los Muertos on Wednesday, Nov. 2.
Students can stop by the Cafe, the Bridge and CSE (Suite 200B) on Wednesday to learn more about the holiday in which death becomes something not to be feared, but to be embraced.
The Library also has a Day of the Dead exhibition currently on display—showcasing its Día de los Muertos collection as well as sugar, paper mache and ceramic skulls—and is holding a reception with light refreshments on Wednesday from 1:00–2:00 p.m.
Head past the jump for a list of remaining International Education Week events.
