Latinx Heritage Month
Each year, people honor and celebrate the contributions and cultures of Hispanic and Latinx Americans whose heritage can be traced to Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. The observation began as Hispanic Heritage week was expanded to cover a 30-day period from mid-September through mid-October. Ursinus is proud to mark Hispanic-Latinx Heritage Month 2024 with a number of events, activities and conversations that celebrate Hispanic and Latinx culture and traditions.
