invitation to visit our Dia de los Muertos altar
by Patricia Sanchez
Hi COEHD,
The Department of Bicultural-Bilingual Studies cordially invites you to stop by and view our annual ofrenda (altar) for Día de los Muertos; it recognizes loved ones that have passed away.
In addition, you may either 1) email us a photo with the name of your loved one whom you’d like to honor [ bbl(a)utsa.edu<mailto:bbl@utsa.edu> ], or 2) bring your own photo to the altar.
November 1st is Día de los Muertos, which is a cultural celebration that reunites the living and the dead, where families/friends can create ofrendas (altars) to honor the deceased. The altars are decorated with bright yellow marigold flowers, pictures of the people that have passed, and favorite foods and drinks of the departed. These offerings are thought to encourage visits from the land of the dead as the departed souls hear their prayers and join in the celebration.
We are located in MB 3.112, and are open Mon-Thurs, 8am – 5pm.

Dear colleagues:
The RESPETO Project is excited to host a seminar series exploring the critical role of language in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education. The seminars in this series will discuss the complexities of language, particularly how it intersects with racial equity and inclusion within higher education.

* Date: Friday, October 18th, 2024
* Time: 9:00 AM

Dr. Slaton will explore how historical narratives and power dynamics shape the way we communicate scientific and technological concepts. This session will be followed by a workshop on discourse analysis, offering practical tools to analyze and deconstruct language in STEM education.

Stay tuned! We look forward to welcoming you to this exciting series.
