2023 Latinx Heritage Month

In recognition of Latinx Heritage Month (LHM), St. John’s University’s Office of Multicultural Affairs is sponsoring a celebration under this year’s theme, “¡Mi Casa es Sú Casa! (My Home is Your Home!)”. This theme was chosen as we look forward to welcoming our students, faculty, administrators, and staff as they transition from the University’s Staten Island campus to Queens.

Latinx Heritage Month (also known as National Hispanic Heritage Month) is nationally celebrated from September 15 to October 15. These dates hold a special significance in the Latinx/Hispanic community as they commemorate the anniversaries of the independence days of several Latin American countries, including Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua, among others. LHM honors the rich legacy, traditions, contributions, and achievements made by Latinx and Hispanic individuals and communities.
