Latinx Pride (Hispanic Heritage) Month

The Office of Hispanic Serving Initiatives and LASO invites the campus community to a series of events commemorating the 2020 Latinx Pride Hispanic Heritage Month.

Posted in: Announcements, Events

Spanish speaking countrys flags

Montclair State University was designated as a HSI in 2016 when 25% of that year’s undergraduate incoming class self-identified as Hispanic. This year, we have welcomed approximately 35% (pre-census) Latinx students. Hispanic Serving Institutions play a critical role in the education and graduation of Hispanic students, graduating two-thirds of them nationwide. Please join us for programs all month long.
