From Sept. 15 through Oct. 15, the campus community came together to celebrate Latine Heritage Month through a series of performances, networking, sporting events and more.

Hosted by Multicultural Affairs, students, faculty and staff participated in opportunities to learn about the history, culture and contributions of Americans whose ancestry can be traced to over 20 Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America, including Mexico, Central and South America and the Caribbean.

These photos capture highlights from several of the events.
