We invite everyone to participate in our Dia de Los Muertos celebrations each year.
UVU departments and colleges join us in this celebration as we build bridges of understanding
cross-culturally and create spaces on campus that encourage diversity, inclusion,
and different approaches. The Dia de los Muertos (“Day of the Dead”) tradition extends
throughout Latin America but is most closely identified with Mexico. The Indigenous
people believe that upon death, the individual’s soul did not die, but continued to
live on in a place of rest.

A student who is the first person from their family to attend college [or if neither
parent holds a bachelor’s degree].
If neither of your parents has a bachelor’s degree, you would still be considered
a first-generation student even if your sibling went to college and you are going
to.
Come learn how to navigate a variety of tools that will prepare you for an easy transition
into higher education. Being a first-generation student is an honor: they’re taking
risks, stepping outside of their comfort zone, and doing something they’ve never seen
anyone in their family do before. We want to celebrate your journey and clear your
path to success.
