In the United States, National Hispanic Heritage Month, also known as Latine Heritage Month (LHM), takes place from September 15th to October 15th. During LHM, La Casa hosts a series of collaborative efforts to celebrate cultural heritage. Some major highlights include:
-
Latin Excellence Showcase - We host an exhibit of visual art pieces, literature, dance, song, speeches, and more by Latine undergraduate, graduate, and professional students at Yale.
-
Keynote Speakers - To either kick off or conclude LHM month, we bring a keynote speaker who speaks on and highlights important topics within the Latine community.
-
Student Organizations - Each year, we host a series of collaborative events with student organizations to celebrate Latinidad. Past events have included mixers, cookouts, dance lessons, presentations, guest speakers, and more.
