Mark your calendars for a month of exciting events celebrating Hispanic culture! National Hispanic Heritage Week started in 1968 and in 1988 was expanded to 30 days, September 15th - October 15th. The dates of Hispanic Heritage Month were selected to include the Independence Day celebrations of seven Latin American countries, as well as to incorporate Día de la Raza. On September 24th at 4:00PM on the UC Patio the Hispanic Heritage Month Committee is hosting Opening Ceremonies. This event will feature performances from professional ballroom dancers, UM Hispanic Greek Letter Organizations, Miami Ballroom Dancers and Salsa Craze. The month promises to highlight music, art, history and the richness of the diverse Hispanic community. Calendar of Events: 9/24 4:00PM
