Each year at UIS, we observe National Hispanic Heritage Month
from September 15 to October 15 – celebrating the cultures and the
contributions of Americans whose families came from Mexico, Spain, Central and
South American and the Caribbean. With the leadership of OLAS (the
Organization of Latin American Students) and our UIS Diversity Center, events are already underway this week.
We had a wonderful Mariachi band on the quad on Monday to kick-off Hispanic Heritage Month and I'm glad I
could stop by and enjoy the music with so many members of this vibrant student
organization. Thank you OLAS members for sharing your heritage with the
campus community and for demonstrating "Leadership lived" with so
much commitment and enthusiasm. Check the UIS website for more information
about events going on in the next several weeks!
