Día de Los Muertos with The LAFS Library
Create and decorate picture frames all month long at the Library to be displayed for Día de Los Muertos!
Día de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a two-day holiday that reunites the living and the deceased. Families and friends create Ofrendas (or Offerings) to honor their departed loved ones. The LAFS Library will create an altar to honor your loved ones that will be displayed the week of October 28th at the B2 Lobby.
You can participate by visiting the LAFS Library’s Creation Station (located at the library, B1, 5th floor) to decorate your very own picture frame for your loved one who has passed so it will be featured on the altar. You can bring your own 3.5×65″ picture or you can print it out at the Library for free. We will then gather all of your decorated picture frames and put them on the altar for display.
Remember to check the Ofrendas Altar in the B2 Lobby to celebrate and remember your departed loved ones!

LAFS Library x Q+mmunity Club Success Wall
The LAFS Library and Q+mmunity Club have created a fantastic installation on campus to help inspire everyone. This Success Wall is placed in the B2 Lobby and at LARS, hoping to bring people together to express their goals and dreams. Failure is a fear for everyone, but the fear of failure shouldn’t stop you from trying.
“If I knew I would succeed, I would…” the Q+mmunity Club has asked YOU to fill in the blanks. What would you do for yourself if you knew success was guaranteed? Please visit and let us know by writing on our Success Wall!
Those of you who are online students, or maybe alumni who no longer live in the area, may ask yourselves “How can I participate?” Well, don’t worry! We’ve created a virtual wall that you can sign, as well! Tell us what your hopes and dreams are!
CAMPUS COMMUNITY:
Visit the B2 Lobby & LARS Student Lounge to sign the Success Wall in person.

What would you like to say to those who are watching who might be interested in a career in _____, or are thinking of coming to LAFS/LARS, or maybe to your fellow classmates who also identify as queer?
World Poetry Day originated in 1999, declared by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization to “support linguistic diversity through poetic expression and increasing the opportunity for endangered languages to be heard”.
This year, we called to our incredibly talented and creative community of students, staff, and alumni at LAFS/LARS to submit their work for this virtual exhibition.
We’ve received an overwhelming response to this call and are proud to showcase all of the poems here.
We also added some Poetry Resources below, please be sure to check it out!
