Hispanic-Latine Heritage Month
ABOUT HLHM
Hispanic Heritage Month, founded in 1993 at the University of Florida, is a student-run celebration that aims to engage, empower and entertain the UF student population with an emphasis on the Hispanic-Latine community. We strive to showcase the differences and similarities within our numerous nationalities. In doing so, we give the Hispanic-Latine community a space to demonstrate their pride. As the largest student-run Hispanic Heritage celebration in the nation, we celebrate our roots at UF and beyond!
