Día de los Muertos Returns to UU Plaza Nov. 1
The Latinx/e Center for Academic Success and Achievement, or La CASA, will host a Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, celebration at the UU Plaza on Wednesday, Nov. 1. The holiday is observed by Mexican communities to honor the memories of loved ones. Traditional celebrations include the construction of altars called ofrendas, where families leave marigolds and favorite foods for the departed; share memories and visit graves of loved ones; and give gifts, including the iconic decorated sugar skulls. La CASA’s event will transform the plaza into a meticulously crafted ofrenda by students as well as the broader campus community. Organizers promise it will be more than “just an event; it’s a communal gathering where we come together to celebrate life, remember those no longer with us and cherish the traditions that bind us,” La CASA announced. Events include:
- Cafecito con Pan Dulce, 9 a.m. to noon, Science Building (No. 52), Room E-22. Attendees can decorate sugar skulls.
- A film and discussion, 3-6 p.m., Science Building (No. 52), Room E-22. A presentation of the history and importance of Dia de los Muertos will follow the film screening.

Mustang Men and Women Again Capture Big West Conference Cross Country Titles
The cross country program brought out the brooms for the second straight year, sweeping the men's and women's team titles at the Big West Championships on Oct. 27 at Blacklake Golf Resort in Nipomo. It marks the seventh time in program history that the Mustangs have swept the team titles and the second since 2012-13 that they've done it in consecutive years. The men throttled the competition en route to their 19th conference title, edging runner-up UC Santa Barbara by 60 points — the second largest margin in Big West Championship history. Graduate student Davis Bove led the way, cruising to the individual title with an 8K time of 23:37.4 — just 10 seconds off the Big West meet record. (Mustang Jake Ritter broke that in 2022 at UC Riverside.) The Cal Poly women were just as impressive, running an exceptional final kilometer to overtake UC Davis and claim a ninth Big West title and third in five meets. Trailing the Aggies by 12 points entering the last half-mile of the 6K race, juniors Hana Catsimanes and Carissa Buchholz each moved up multiple spots to help the Mustangs soar past UC Davis and repeat as conference champs for the fourth time in program history. Hosting the Big West finals for the first time in a decade and the sixth time overall, Cal Poly made sure to put on a show for the hometown crowd.
