Dia De Los Muertos Ofrenda

For Dia De Los Muertos this year, we would like to invite you to honor your loved ones alongside us on this holiday! How do you participate? See below!

What is an ofrenda? A colorful altar with photos of passed loved ones (yes! your pets count and are encouraged!) surrounded by offerings of things they loved, decorated with marigolds and candles (not lit) to bring their spirits home!

How do I participate? Send an email to lsu@nmu.edu containing the following:
-Photograph of your loved one
-Name of your loved one
-Offering you'd like to leave

What's an offering, and what can I leave? An offering is any of the favorite things of your loved one that is placed with their photo. Here are some examples: jewelry or clothing they used to wear, a favorite drink, a favorite CD/movie, toys, pet toys (treats, collars, beds, etc.), things from their hobbies, such as paint brushes, running shoes, knitting needles, musical instruments, anything that was theirs. We are not accepting perishable food, alcohol, things associated with hate speech, or anything that violates the student code of conduct.

Do I have to be Latin to participate? Nope! All are welcome here :D
