Immerse yourself in Latino/a/x culture throughout September and October.

September 1, 2022 by Strategic Communication

The office of multicultural programs at Missouri State University will host several events in honor of Latino/a/x Heritage Month.  

The events will take place Sept. 7 to Oct. 6 on campus.  

“By having educational and engaging programs that represent Latino/a/x heritage, MSU fosters respect and open-mindedness for other cultures,” said Dr. Nina Barudzic, director of multicultural programs. 

“Our hope is that the Missouri State campus and Springfield community will learn more about one another and broaden their understanding of different identities.”
