The Office of Multicultural Affairs hosts Latino/Hispanic Heritage Month from Friday, Sept. 14, to Saturday, Oct. 20. The 13th annual program features a variety of events that highlight different aspects of Latino/Hispanic culture including lectures, music performances, festivals, art exhibitions, dance and much more.
The month started with a parade on the Einhorn Family Walk followed immediately by an opening ceremony in Panasci Lounge. Scheduled events continue throughout the month.
A hallmark event of the celebration is Fiesta Latina, which is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 22, at 7 p.m. in Goldstein Auditorium, Schine Student Center. The annual celebration includes Latino cuisine, live entertainment and a presentation of the Trailblazer and Distinguished Alumni Awards. Tickets are available at the Schine Box Office for $5 (students with valid SUID) and $10 (all others).
Campus community members are invited to attend all events throughout the month. Access the full calendar of events on the Office of Multicultural Affairs website.
LHHM honors Spanish, Latino American and Afro-Latino cultures in the United States. Celebrations beginning around Sept. 15 is fitting, as that date commemorates the anniversary of independence for Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua; Mexico celebrates on Sept. 16 and Chile on Sept. 18. The celebration continues through Oct. 15.
LHHM is one of four celebratory months coordinated by the Office of Multicultural Affairs. Upcoming heritage months include Native Heritage Month (November 2018), Black History Month (February 2019) and Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month (April 2019).
