Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month

September 16, 2024

Dear Campus Community,

Hispanic Heritage Month gives all of us a chance to celebrate the rich tapestry of Hispanic and Latino cultures that are an integral part of our community and nation. From September 15 to October 15, we honor and recognize the profound contributions, enduring legacies and vibrant traditions of Hispanic Americans.

We are deeply committed to fostering an inclusive environment where every member of our community can thrive and be celebrated. If you’d like to learn more about this important cultural celebration, please visit the Chaffey Library’s Hispanic and Latinx Heritage guide.
