From Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, we celebrate national Hispanic Heritage month, a federally designated period to recognize the many contributions of the Latinx community. The monthlong observation coincides with the national independence days of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Chile, Belize, and Costa Rica. 

On campus, this period is filled with opportunities to connect, celebrate, and learn about the rich and vibrant cultures of our Hispanic and Latinx communities in order to fulfill our Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) mission of serving them in the classroom and workplace. Below are some photo highlights from a few of the events our Lynx participated in during this year’s Hispanic Heritage Month.
