The Office for Institutional Equity and Diversity invites the campus community to participate in NC State\u2019s 2019 Latinx Heritage Month Celebration. Multicultural Student Affairs will host several programs and will promote events with various campus partners to commemorate National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 \u2013 October 15, 2019.<\/p>\n
The month celebrates the important presence of Latin American immigrants in the U.S. and recognizes the histories that each community carries with them. Additionally, we recognize the unique cultures created by the blending of Latin American heritage and U.S. experiences. We take this time each year to recognize the issues facing our people and the future of what it means to be Latinx.<\/p>\n
At NC State, we name the celebration Latinx<\/a> Heritage Month to be inclusive of the experiences and identities of our students, staff, faculty and community. Latinx is the broadest way for folks of any gender within Latin American and Caribbean lineage to identify with.<\/p>\n
