To recognize Hispanic Americans' culture, history, and contributions, the University
of Louisiana Monroe Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and International Student
Association are celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month Oct. 11-15.
Gina White, ULM International Services and Programs Officer, said it is important
for the campus to recognize the contributions of the Hispanic/Latino culture.
“Our students benefit from the educational resources here on campus, but we all benefit
in a mutual exchange of cultures,” White said. “We are a home away from home and therefore
it is important that we celebrate the heritage of each student, faculty, and staff
here at ULM.”
