Hispanic Heritage Month - Celebramos juntos!

Welcome to MSU's celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month!

National Hispanic Heritage month, a time for celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of people with Hispanic and Latinx heritage, runs from September 15 to October 15 each year. These dates are significant.  September 15th is the anniversary of independence for Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, followed by the anniversary of Mexican independence on the 16th and Chilean independence on the 18th. In 1988, President Ronald Reagan expanded official recognition of Hispanic Heritage from a week-long event started in 1968 to the current 30-day period.

At Montana State University, a committee of students, staff, faculty, and community partners comes together to design events that will allow the community to celebrar juntos, celebrate together.

¡Celebramos juntos! programming will:

  • Celebrate the histories, cultures and contributions of people with Hispanic and Latino heritage.
  • Strengthen community and connection in Gallatin County.
  • Engage more of the MSU and local community in the issues and challenges facing Hispanic communities.
  • Increase awareness of the diversity within the Hispanic and Latino cultures and communities.
