Join us for our Dia de los Muertos celebration!

From October 30th to November 6th, stop by the Global Hub in Posvar Hall to celebrate Dia de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead. Center for Latin American Studies students, community, and staff have worked together to build an ofrenda, or alter, where you can bring photos or momentos of your loved ones. 

As you engage with the display, you'll have the opportunity to learn more about the symbolism and traditions of Dia de los Muertos. This is a wonderful way to honor the memory of those we've lost and celebrate their lives. We welcome everyone to join us in this celebration of life and cultural understanding.

Plus3 Argentina: Healthcare Management Information Session with Professor Grant Martsolf
Thursday, November 2, 4pm
Posvar Hall Room 4625 OR Zoom: https://pitt.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwqf-uuqDMiGtPMweZTzKLh_iYYlkmSwvv_

Join us to celebrate Professor Wendy Z. Goldman's recent book; "Fortress Dark and Stern: The Soviet Home Front During World War II."

After Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, German troops seized the heartland of Soviet industry and agriculture and turned the occupied territories into killing fields. "Fortress Dark and Stern" chronicles the epic story of resistance on the home front. Focusing on the impact of total war, it examines the efforts of ordinary people, who withstood starvation and horrific conditions, to make the Allied victory possible.
