Assistant Professor Julia Cisneros began hosting a series of get-togethers in the Bedform Dynamics Lab to craft paper marigolds in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month. Julia says, "marigolds hold a special significance in Mexican culture as the flower of Día de los Muertos. These vibrant blooms are used to adorn altars, or ofrendas, dedicated to our departed loved ones. I have fond memories of crafting paper marigolds during my school days, a cherished tradition leading up to Día de los Muertos, when we would embellish our classrooms in celebration."

The Department of Geosciences hosted two participants in the Future Faculty Diversity Program last week, Pedro Monarrez and Floyd Nichols. Both gave talks on Thursday.
