Description
This series is geared to explore social justice needs for various marginalized populations. We all talk about how diverse UMBC is, but what does that mean in reality? How does it show up in how we communicate and interact with each other? When does celebrating diversity shift into inclusivity that creates positive social change in and outside our campus community? This series hopes to help us grapple with these questions. Join us for a facilitated discussion of these topics, voice your opinions, and hear those of your fellow community members.
This session will highlight contemporary and past traditions of Latin American holidays and Hispanic Heritage Month. We will explore celebrations in Latin America beyond the well-known Cinco de Mayo and cool facts such as the reason why Hispanic Heritage Month spans over two half-months (i.e. Late-Sept/Early Oct) because of the various independence days of Latin American countries, like Mexico, Chile, Costa Rica, and El Salvador.
All undergrads, grads, staff, and faculty are encouraged to attend! For any questions, please email Karina Aquiahuatl Villagran, Intern for Hispanic, Latinx, and Indigenous Student Engagement, at aquiahu1@umbc.edu or Campus Life’s Mosaic at mosaic@umbc.edu.
