Hispanic Heritage Month
Everything is Possible
This theme represents the "spirit of innovation, resilience, and unity that define the Hispanic experience". The theme also expresses values, optimism, and the understanding that Latinos can and will do everything.
Why We Celebrate
National Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated annually from September 15 to October 15 to recognize and uplift the contributions of those of Hispanic descent and celebrate Hispanic culture. This year’s celebration is centered around driving prosperity, power and progress, recognizing the diversity amongst the Hispanic population, while working to build prosperous and healthy communities.
Ohio University proudly recognizes National Hispanic Heritage Month through education, programming, and celebration. We aim to uplift those of Hispanic heritage within our community throughout the monthlong celebration and yearlong.
