Montana State University is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from September 15th through October 15th, with a series of events and offerings.

A committee of students, staff, faculty, and community partners has come together to design events that will allow the community to celebrar juntos, celebrate together.

The month will start with a kick-off celebration on September 20th at 5:30 pm in Inspiration Hall on the MSU campus.

This celebration will include a welcome from MSU President Waded Cruzado, sampling food and beverages from a collaboration between Claudia’s Mesa and MSU Executive Chef Jill Flores, and a Munayki Peruvian Folk Dance. 

All are welcome to this free evening.

¡Celebramos juntos! programming will:

• Celebrate the histories, cultures and contributions of people with Hispanic and Latino heritage.

• Strengthen community and connection in Gallatin County.

• Engage more of the MSU and local community in the issues and challenges facing Hispanic communities.

• Increase awareness of the diversity within the Hispanic and Latino cultures and communities.
