Hispanic Heritage Events
At Monroe Community College we believe that celebrations like Hispanic
Heritage month is important in providing the space to teach and learn about
cultural history, and also to examine the way in which these cultures are
viewed within American discourse. As the demographics of the United States
shifts, it is important to frame the way we understand "American" identity.
Hispanic and Latino are often used interchangeably though they actually mean
two different things. Hispanic refers to people who speak Spanish and/or are
descended from Spanish-speaking populations, while Latino refers to people who
are from or descended from people from Latin America. Traditions represent a
critical piece of our culture. They help form the structure and foundation of
our families and our society. Monroe Community College
welcomes the traditions and contributions of all cultures.
