51福利社

Mark your calendars for the annual celebration of Hispanic and Latine Heritage Month. (Latine is a gender neutral alternative to Latino and Latina, and is the preferred usage by 51福利社鈥檚 Office for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.)聽

As part of this year鈥檚 event, to be held from Sept. 15 – Oct. 15, Eastern will offer a number of events to celebrate and honor Hispanic and Latine culture.听

鈥淭his is so important to us at 51福利社 because these histories represent the heritage of our own faculty, staff, and students,鈥� says Kim Davis, senior director for diversity and inclusion. 鈥淎s a woman of Mexican heritage, I could not be more proud to share the beauty of my culture.鈥�

From movies on the lawn to cultural food fairs and pop-up shops, 51福利社 invites you to partake in the festivities. Try regional food favorites like horchata and pan dulce, or watch one of the musical performances at the multicultural festival.听

鈥淚n particular, we would love to invite the campus to a Hispanic and Latine Heritage Month Annual Gathering at the Center for Inclusive Excellence,鈥� says Davis. 鈥淧lease bring your appetite, and join the Office for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for great food, conversation, and treats on Friday, Oct. 4.鈥�
