Elon University’s Department of World Languages and Cultures celebrated Día de los Muertos through a weeklong exploration of Mexican cultural heritage, music and remembrance.

The National Collegiate Hispanic Honor Society, Sigma Delta Pi, recognizes students who excel in the study of the Spanish language, literature and cultures — and who foster understanding, appreciation and respect for the Spanish-speaking world

The Elon community is invited to visit the display throughout the week to learn about the cultural and historical significance of Día de los Muertos, recognized by UNESCO as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, and to honor those who continue to live in our memories.
