Hispanic Heritage Month
HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH at CU DENVER From Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, the nation celebrates National Hispanic Heritage month, a federally designated period to recognize the many contributions of the Latinx community. At CU Denver, it’s an exceptionally exciting time, with many opportunities to learn more about the diverse Latinx community that calls Denver home. The monthlong observation falls starts in September and ends in October so that it coincides with the national independence days of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Chile, Belize, and Costa Rica. CU Denver and its partners are hosting several opportunities on campus for you to learn more about the rich and vibrant cultural tapestry of Hispanic and Latinx communities. Events, educational programs, cultural showcases, and lectures are scheduled throughout the month to encourage dialogue, cross-cultural connections, and to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of the contributions, history, and traditions of the Latinx community. We encourage you to check them out!
