Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo (the Fifth of May) will be celebrated by the Student Leadership Council (SLC) in the lobby area of the 100 Building from 11-1 and again from 4-6. They will be just outside the new library doors.
What a view we'll have!

So what are we celebrating?

According to Encyclopedia Britannica, Cinco de Mayo is a "national holiday in Mexico in honour of a military victory in 1862 over the French forces of Napoleon III...Cinco de Mayo has become a festive holiday in parts of the United States with large Mexican American populations."
