Hispanic Heritage Month
Hispanic Heritage Month
The Intercultural Student Engagement Center, in collobration with the Hilltopper Organization of Latin American Students (HOLAS) and all five academic colleges have planned a calendar of events for the WKU campus community. Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated nationally on September 15 - October 15. Several students and faculty members expressed that they wanted to see more celebration during this month. Although this year's celebration will be unique, we hope that the campus will learn more about our Latinx population through virtual engagement! This month will be full of cooking classes, dance classes, and educational tidbits to help you understand more. #WKUMiLatinidadEs
