Hispanic Heritage – Latin Fiesta


On Thursday, October 15th a small group of faculty and staff enjoyed a wonderful time together celebrating the Hispanic/Latin culture at the College and within the community.  Dr. Kress and Diane Cecero, JD, welcomed the group with encouraging words.  The Borinquen Dance Theatre, Inc. performed various Latin and Afro-Caribbean dances.  Dr. Emeterio Otero facilitated an outstanding presentation on “The condition of Latinos in Higher Education and MCC”.  Through Dr. Otero’s presentation, PLUS was encouraged to rise to leadership opportunities of increasing Latino participation and persistence within the College.

Many thanks to those who attended the Latin Fiesta and for the delicious food provided.  Thank you to the Diversity Council for your support and to all who helped with organizing the fiesta.  We anticipate that next year’s fiesta will be even better.
