The Office of Diversity Education at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍøÖ±²¥ invites you to join in the celebration of the rich heritage of our Latino community.  As our nation continues to grapple with the challenges presented by the ongoing COVID pandemic, as well as racial injustice, communities of color have given voice to the dire need for awareness, equality, and justice for all.  We firmly and affectionately celebrate the contributions of the Latino community as we acknowledge Hispanic Heritage month. 

In an effort to bring awareness to Hispanic heritage month, we invite you to read this article on Hispanic Heritage Month – Origins and Facts, presented by the History channel. 

For those interested in reading about the experiences of Latinos in the United States, the following article, written by Rigoberto Gonzalez (2019), provides a comprehensive list of good reads by Latinos.  As he notes, the list includes searing memoirs about bicultural identity, gripping novels and beautiful poetry collections.
