College Ofrenda. Students in the HON 3503 Day of the Dead seminar course are setting up an
ofrenda in the Honors Student Lounge (GSR 1.204). They also are creating the annual ITC Day of the Day exhibit (link
to 2020 story and link to 2020 exhibit). Both exhibits honor and memorialize loved
ones who have passed. All UTSA community members are invited to visit and bring their own pictures and mementos to contribute to the
ofrenda.
