Hispanic Heritage Month

From September 15-October 15, we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. Here are some quick and easy ways that you and your student can, too:

• Go to a Mexican, Cuban, Spanish or other spicy restaurant when you're visiting during Family Weekend
  
• Share a Spanish word of the day when you're emailing or texting one another
  
• Check out the intriguing stories of people in history, such as our new Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, at www.biography.com/ hispanic-heritage/ and share links with one another
  
• Talk about study abroad options and how your student can learn more
  
• Encourage your student to try some of the cultural cuisine offered in the dining hall – it's delicious!
  
• Send your student a filled piñata that she can use with her friends
  Or send some different types of coffee from Hispanic/Latino countries, such as Colombian coffee, café mexicano, shade-grown coffee from Central and South America, and more
