Latinx Community

We are excited to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month, which begins September 15 and ends October 15. With the diverse cultures represented in our Harvard students, staff, faculty, researchers and fellows, this month gives us an opportunity to celebrate the legacies, histories, and contributions by our community who comes from the Caribbean, Central and South American, Spain, and Mexico.
