Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates culture and diversity on campus

With Hispanic Heritage Month in full swing across the nation, several events are taking place around the University of Oregon campus from now until the end of October in celebration and recognition of Latino culture.

The wide-ranging events provide an opportunity for students to immerse themselves in the traditions of Latino culture, to teach others about their way of life and to get involved with diverse student groups on campus.

Members of the university and Eugene communities gathered at the EMU amphitheater Monday evening reflect, mourn and begin healing following the tragedy at Umpqua Community College that took the lives of nine students and faculty members.

The evening event also was a chance to show support for the Umpqua community. Participants were able to write notes of encouragement and strength to the survivors of the mass shooting.

Take a look at the video above for the Duck’s home movie of the visit, complete with a stop at the GEO center and a few classic London landmarks.
