Written by Morgan Jacobus, Editor in Chief
On October 25, the Regis LatinX affinity group, SOMOS, hosted a community event called GOZA, which means “enjoy” in Spanish, which encompasses the main purpose of the event. The goal of GOZA was to foster community and invite non-SOMOS members to enjoy elements of Latin culture they may not have tried before. Various departments came together to help execute the event, including RUSGA, the Spanish Department, and ODEIE. Regis students from all walks of life came to participate and enjoy the festivities. Not only did SOMOS provide music and room to dance, but also an array of Latin food including empanadas, tamales, pupusas, as well as aquas frescas. There was also a spirited round of musical chairs and a pinata! Overall, the event boasted a large turnout and succeeded in bringing together the Regis community to experience LatinX culture.
