Dia de los Muertos

Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a time for the spirit of the deceased to return home and visit loved ones, feast on their favorite foods and listen to their favorite music. MSU honors our deceased with ofrendas, or offerings, which may consist of photographs, bread, other foods, flowers, toys and other symbolic offerings.

 

MSU Pow-Wow

Vendors, dancers, drummers, and fry bread help make our annual MSU Pow-Wow a success. Our Pow-Wow includes a dance competition as well as dinner. The dance competition is open to tiny tots, teens, men and women. The categories include fancy, traditional, grass, and jingle dancing.

 

African-American Awareness Celebration

During the African American Awareness Celebration, MSU honors the many contributions of African Americans. From historical figures to today’s prominent leaders, we recognize this rich culture and its traditions through music, food and celebration.

 

Women of Color Celebration

MSU’s Women of Color Celebration showcases the diverse and interlocking stories of a variety of women, their struggles as well as their successes. This special event celebrates and honors the extraordinary accomplishments of women of color.

 

Nuestra Fiesta Latina

MSU invites everyone to Nuestra Fiesta Latina with activities for all ages, entertainment such as mariachi music, salsa & merengue dancing, traditional food and a “baile” to end the day. This event strives to bring together individuals from our local community and our campus community to celebrate and experience the Latino culture.
