Día de Los Muertos
Estefania Ledesma Vargas, a Penn State student, didn’t feel close to Día de Los Muertos until the death of her cousin. The holiday of Día de Los Muertos is a celebration of the lives of family and friends who have passed on. This year, Penn State’s Mexican-American Student Association and Spanish Emersion Club held a celebration for the holiday where people engaged in discussions after an informational presentation about the holiday.
