Isabel Soto, instructor, and her Spanish students have created an ofrenda (decorated
altar) honoring Ana Boman, who taught Spanish in Trine University’s Department of
Humanities and Communication for 16 years before she passed away last year.
Día de los Muertos, celebrated Nov. 1–2, is a Mexican tradition honoring loved ones who have passed away through photographs, flowers, shared memories and a moment of silence. This tribute held special meaning for Soto.
“We remembered an educator whose kindness and love of language touched many lives. I shared a close bond with Ana and lovingly remember her warmth and kindness,” she said. “A heartfelt thank-you to the students and our administrative assistant, Amber Ellert, for their amazing support, creativity and care in making this beautiful tribute possible.”
The display will remain outside Wells Theater in Taylor Hall through Nov. 2. More photos are available on SmugMug.
Trine University has launched Dual Advantage, a new program that gives undergraduate students multiple pathways to earn both a bachelor’s degree and an advanced degree in less time than completing both degrees separately.
We celebrate World Occupational Therapy Day on Oct. 27, and if you’re confused about what the profession is, you’re not alone.
Trine University student organizations and the McKetta Department of Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering recently offered activities for girls interested in science and engineering at the 2026 STEM Expo hosted by the Girl Scouts of Northern Indiana-Michiana (GSNI-M).
