Recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month
To the Campus Community:
From September 15 through October 15, we gather as a community to recognize Hispanic
Heritage Month and celebrate the histories, cultures, achievements, and contributions
of Hispanic and Latino communities.
This moment in time provides us with an opportunity to celebrate the people, stories,
and experiences that continue to shape our communities today. The timing of Hispanic
Heritage Month also carries historical significance, as it coincides with anniversaries
of the independence of several Latin American countries.
At Farmingdale State College, we take great pride in the many ways our Hispanic and
Latino students, faculty, staff, alumni, and extended community members contribute
to the life of our College. Their voices, experiences, and accomplishments are an
important part of who we are.
I invite you to join the Office of Student Activities for the Hispanic Heritage Month Block Party on Tuesday, October 6, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00
p.m. at Gleeson Hall Plaza. It will be a great opportunity to come together, celebrate,
and connect as a campus community.
As we recognize Hispanic Heritage Month, I hope we continue to make space to learn
from one another, appreciate the richness of our community, and ensure that FSC remains
a place where everyone feels welcome and valued.
