September 15th marked the start of Hispanic Heritage Month, which you can learn more about from the UNM Newsroom and in an exemplary statement from our Vice Chancellor of Diversity, Equity & inclusion, Valerie Romero-Leggott, MD. As Dr. Romero-Leggott says "This commemoration is also an occasion to acknowledge the ways in which Hispanic communities have faced oppression, as well as their accomplishments and breakthroughs. We recognize the sacrifices that they and so many people of color have made to uplift the next generation."
Be sure to check out events happening this month to learn, engage, discuss, and possibly find your affinity groups! These are all such important elements of your academic careers and education and the HSC Office for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion offerings can be particularly useful to understanding the needs of your communities as health care practitioners. Events offered from the HSC Office for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion can be found on their 2020 Hispanic Heritage Month Calendar and events from UNM's El Centro De La Raza are listed in the image of this post.
