In celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month, Cal State San Marcos’ Latinx Center is partnering with campus organizations to present an exciting lineup of events. The month, which runs Sept. 15-Oct. 15, is an opportunity to celebrate the rich culture and diverse backgrounds of Hispanic-identifying people.

Celebrate the Latinx/Hispanic community by listening to music, watching live performances, playing games and eating cultural food.

Learn about problematic stigmas that society creates and the inappropriate portrayal of members in the Latinx community.

Join us in celebrating and uplifting Latinx women. The Women and Gender Equity Center will be hosting week-long events that highlight the trailblazing women in our lives and history. Students will learn about female empowerment in the cultural community.

Students will hear from a guest speaker about their career path.

Students will have a conversation about how body image is perceived in Latin America.

Learn about different music and dance styles of Latin America to celebrate the end of Heritage Month. Students will have the opportunity to meet the center staff and learn about the cultural significance of why it is important to celebrate this month each year.
