Dear Wolf Pack Family,

From September 15th to October 15th we celebrate Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month. This is a time for us to learn more about what makes the contributions, achievements and cultures of the Hispanic/Latinx community such an integral part of the fabric of our nation’s history. There are a number of events and programming on our campus celebrating Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month. To learn more about these events, check the University’s Multicultural Center, Latino Research Center, and Latinx Student Services webpages.

Also, I had the privilege of interviewing Dr. Jafeth Sanchez, the Director of the University’s Latino Research Center, for the University’s “Sagebrushers” podcast. Dr. Sanchez talks about her goals for the Latino Research Center, her time in the community as an award-winning math teacher and her perspectives on the important work we are doing on our campus relative to the Hispanic/Latinx communities. Please take the time to listen to Dr. Sanchez’s remarkable conversation on Sagebrushers.

It is my hope that throughout Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month, we all take a moment to listen, learn and reflect on why this is an extremely important month for all of us.

Vamos Pack!

Sincere regards,

Brian Sandoval
President
