Join us in celebrating Latine Heritage Month (LHM) 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. Alongside campus partners, celebrations include performances, discussions, sporting events and more. For questions or to request accommodations, please contact Belonging and Student Success.
