To honor the upcoming Latino/a/x Heritage Month, the office of multicultural programs at Missouri State University will host several events and activities on campus. 

They begin Sept. 19 and run until Oct. 15. 

“It’s important to learn more about the Latino/a/x heritage and many communities included under the ‘Latino/a/x umbrella’,” said Dr. Nina Barudzic, MSU director of multicultural programs. 

“The goal of the multicultural programs events is to assist each of us to become more aware, compassionate and constructive people in the quest for equity.”
