Welcoming the 2025-26 Academic Year with Hispanic Heritage Month

Hispanic Heritage Month is observed annually from September 15 to October 15. It is a time to appreciate and celebrate the colorful cultures, rich histories, and diversity of the American Latino community — specifically, those whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. 

Thanks to the efforts of the HHM Planning and Programming Committee, staff returning to campus from summer break can look forward to a month packed with a wide range of events celebrating the demographic that comprises more than half of Anaheim’s population and accounts for 34% of Orange County.

In addition to popular returning events like the International Cultural Festival at Cypress College and the Cruisin’ to College Car Show held at Fullerton College, this year’s HHM events lineup features compelling seminars (both in person and virtual) that give employees and the community the opportunity to broaden their knowledge of the immigrant experience and learn how to navigate the current environment while still providing support to students.

Mark your calendars for the staff and community events planned for this September and October!
