ANNOUNCEMENTS:
While Hispanic Heritage Month is observed nationally from September 15 – October 15, Stony Brook University dedicates the full month of October to this celebration. However, additional events take place throughout the year. This past year, we proudly celebrated the 35th Anniversary of Hispanic Heritage Month at SBU, and we are excited to continue this legacy together. There are two ways you or your organization can participate:
1. Join the Hispanic Heritage Month Committee- Fill out the HHM Committee Interest Form by Monday, August 25.
2. Add Your Event to the HHM Calendar:
Post your event on SB Engagedand select the Hispanic Heritage Month category to have it automatically appear on the HHM website calendar.
Donations
The Hispanic Heritage Month initiatives, events, and scholarships are made possible
by generous contributions from University members and campus partners. We welcome
and encourage your support to keep Hispanic Heritage Month an important presence at
Stony Brook.
