Join us this month as we at Adelphi highlight the accomplishments and achievements of the Hispanic members of our community, and learn about the numerous ways we are supporting change, progress and equity.
At Adelphi, we see Hispanic Heritage Month as an opportunity to not only celebrate the achievements of Hispanic people in our community and worldwide, but also share an opportunity to re-commit to the ideals of social justice and equity.
From a festival of five Hispanic-oriented films, to Latino student presentations on their rich traditions and migration stories, to a conversation titled “Nuestras Voces Cuentan: Our Voices Count,” on Latino civic engagement, we hope to challenge, reflect, educate and help build a better future during this month of events.
Please review our Latin American and Latinx Studies Program, Panther Pathway to Student Success, and our Hispanic Serving Institution Task Force, and see how we are leading the change.
Get to know some of our Hispanic faculty members at Adelphi University, and read about some of their research and scholarship accomplishments.
A New Mural Celebrating the Latino Student Experience
According to Jacqueline Olvera, PhD, associate professor and chair of sociology, the new Swirbul Library mural “turned a blank wall into a colorful and vivid expression of pride, inspiration and celebration. My hope is that every student, parent and family member who encounters the mural walks away feeling united by the idea that college graduation is a collective victory.”
Hispanic Heritage Month: Pablo’s Story
Journalism/political science major Pablo Martínez-Sistac grew up in northern Colombia. He loves his homeland and, he says, anyone who speaks Spanish. But he wanted to come to the U.S. for his college education. At Adelphi, he found the opportunities he was looking for.
