Celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month
We celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 to October 15) to recognize the histories, cultures, and contributions of Americans whose families and ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.
The day of September 15 is significant as it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September 18, respectively.
Alex Torres and His Latin Orchestra will be performing on campus on Thursday, September 21. The award-winning 12-piece orchestra is well-known for its original blend of Afro-Caribbean rhythms.
