Black History Month 2010

This page is under construction

Each year a University calendar of events is published to commemorate Latino Heritage Month.  Observed on campus from mid September through mid October, this celebration reflects on the experiences and acknowledges the contributions of persons of Latina/o descent.  The theme for the month is “xxxx,” so now is an excellent time to start thinking about programming that you could contribute for this year’s upcoming Latino Heritage Month.  We invite you to be creative in identifying topics for programs or events that relate to your particular unit, organization or mission.

A number of student organizations and offices have already determined dates for annual events.  They are listed below and we highly encourage you to avoid scheduling other programs or events on these dates.

September XX – Latino Heritage Month Kickoff Festival
Septem XX - Program 2 - Bienvenida
October XX – Banquet
