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.

Professor Jochen Hellbeck of Rutgers University will give the third and final presentation of the Socialist Studies Seminar series, presenting on a chapter from his book-in-progress, "A War Like No Other?"

Part of a forthcoming monograph devoted to the decades-long stand-off between Nazi antibolshevism and Soviet antifascism, this chapter traces the Red Army’s incursion into Germany in 1944 and 1945 as it focuses on the interpretive lenses that propagandists, soldiers, and civilians on both sides of the front applied to the final stage of the Second World War in Europe.
