Happy Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month, DVC!

Here is a message from the Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month Committee:

This month, September 15 to October 15, the United States celebrates Hispanic/Latinx culture and recognizes the contributions and influence of Hispanic/Latinx Americans. At DVC, we will be educating students on the history, culture, and achievements of the Hispanic/Latinx community. The Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month Committee is working hard to showcase representation for all Hispanic/Latinx people, no matter what you choose to identify with. This cultural representation is long overdue, and it is important to us that students feel seen, heard, and validated at DVC. We look forward to celebrating with you all this month!

Thank you for your support,

Ayana Alvarado
