Alba Club started at the beginning of the Fall semester for any student wanting to feel connected in their home country. Alba was started by two students, Maria Luisa Arias (Malu) and Fabian Camilo Marquez-Alvarez after a moment of nostalgia last year at the El Centro’s Dia de los Muertos event. They recently applied to have a booth at the Associated Students Winter Wonderland where they made Noche de Velitas or Lanterns of Hope, a Columbian tradition.
