Heritage Months 2026

Charger statue

As a campus community, we celebrate and recognize Heritage Months not only as opportunities to celebrate cultures and communities, but also as opportunities to learn, connect, and build a campus where everyone feels that their history, culture, and experiences matter. While each Heritage Month provides a dedicated time to recognize and celebrate a community, it also serves as a starting point for continued learning, dialogue, and engagement throughout the year.
