Films, lectures, a cookout and even salsa lessons will be part of Hispanic Heritage Month 2010 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, to be celebrated Wednesday (Sept. 15) through Oct. 15.
The Carolina Latina/o Collaborative (CLC) has coordinated some 30 free, public events with co-sponsors that include other student organizations, University departments and community groups.
“Celebrating Communidad (Community)” will be the month’s theme, said Ron Bilbao, a senior from Miami and undergraduate assistant to the collaborative.
“The programming will highlight the many ways in which Carolina students and faculty celebrate diversity,” he said. “Our theme recognizes the cross-cultural connections that unite our campus into one that is uniquely diverse and flourishing with multiculturalism.”
The collaborative seeks to explore and build collaborative relationships across campus and the community among diverse groups focusing on Latina/o affairs. It offers its space in Craige North Residence Hall for programming that reflects cutting-edge interdisciplinary innovations in scholarship, education, culture and community engagement.
