Latinx/e/a/o Heritage Month Celebration

The Angelina Pedroso Center for Diversity and Intercultural Affairs invites the University community and general public to celebrate Latinx/e/a/o Heritage Month from Sept. 15 - Oct. 15, 2025.

We acknowledge the history, achievements and contributions of people of Hispanic and Latin descent through the development and implementation of various programs and events. This year’s theme is "Collective Heritage: Honoring the Past, Inspiring the Future" to highlight the rich history and future-shaping contributions of Hispanic and Latinx/e/a/o Americans.

All events are free and will take place in the Pedroso Center, located on the Main Campus, Building B, Room B 159, unless otherwise noted.
