We are proud to announce our upcoming 2024 Hispanic Heritage Dinner event will take place on October 10, 2024 at 4:30pm in the cafeteria.
Our keynote speaker will be Stuy ASPIRA co-Founder, Erik Paulino and other past ASPIRANTES. This year we are also all collaborating with the World Language Department (Spanish) led by Profesora Rosanny Genao & WL Educators.
WL Educators have recruited students to contribute to this year's theme "Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together."
National Hispanic Heritage Month is recognized from September 15, 2024, to October 15, 2024.
The September-October period covers a wide range of Independence Days for the Latin American countries of Central America, South America, the Caribbean, and Mexico. National Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates the achievements, history, traditions, and cultural diversity of the nation’s Hispanic / Latino / Latinx Americans and acknowledges their influence on politics, the economy, and the social and cultural life throughout the United States.
“Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together,” encapsulates the spirit of innovation, resilience, and unity that defines Hispanic experience. As Yvette Delgado, Senior Diversity and Inclusion Specialist in the Office of Minority and Women Inclusion at the Federal Housing Finance Agency said, “The theme recognizes all the Hispanics/Latinos who have been trailblazers and game changers; paving the way for future generations.”
