Day of the Death altar

On Wednesday, November 2nd, CSUSM Sigma Delta Pi members honored Juan Gabriel with a Día de los Muertos altar. Juan Gabriel was a beloved Mexican singer whose music brought people from every background and every generation together. The altar was displayed from 11 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. 

During that time, several students had the opportunity to walk by the altar, admire the items in it and even take some pictures with it.
