Students can celebrate and enjoy a variety of Hispanic Heritage Month events hosted by Hispanic Serving Institution Initiatives. <\/p>\n

Hispanic Heritage Month is a month-long celebration, from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, of Hispanic and Latino traditions, culture and history. <\/p>\n

Meverlyn Maisonave, Hispanic Serving Institution Initiatives assistant director, said the events provide academic and cultural support for students. <\/p>\n

\u201cThese celebrations also invite the broader campus community to learn, engage, and appreciate the many experiences that strengthen our institution,\u201d Maisonave said. <\/p>\n

This year\u2019s events include a mix of traditional events like La Kerm\u00e9s and HSI Week, which took place last week, while bringing in new events like a carnival and food market, she said. <\/p>\n

\u201cThese events can provide students with a sense of connection, representation, and belonging,\u201d she said. \u201cFor all students, these events offer opportunities to learn about different perspectives and develop greater respect and understanding.\u201d <\/p>\n

While the events are taking place during Hispanic Heritage Month, Maisonave said they are open to anyone. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe do a lot for all students,\u201d she said. \u201cStudents always ask me in events, \u2018Oh, do I have to be Hispanic to be able to be in this event?\u2019 And always my answer is \u2018No. This is for absolutely everyone.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n
