Latinx/e Heritage Month (nationally known as Hispanic Heritage Month) is celebrated September 15 - October 15. The university community host a variety of events and installations which aim to educate on Latinx/e stories, histories, cultures, and issues, along with building community on campus.
At Northwestern we celebrate this month with a bit of a longer stretch than the nationally recognized timeframe, so that our community can focus on the transition to the start of the year. Please visit this site for up-to-date information on activities in the weeks ahead for opportunities of connection and celebration!
