The goal of Hispanic Heritage Month is to highlight the contributions American Hispanics have made in the United States, which according to the official website, includes not only Latinos of all backgrounds, but also those whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America.
The SCF Hispanic Heritage Month Team invites you to get out of your routine and take part in some of our activities to learn about, embrace, and celebrate the Hispanic culture in our campus.

The goals of the "Latino Americans: 500 Years of History" program at SCF are:
* to engage the Latino American communities in Manatee-Sarasota in learning and discussing experiences related to their histories;
* to encourage Manatee-Sarasota Latino Americans and other immigrants to document and preserve their family histories, and to share their culture with the new generations; and
* to bring awareness to the entire community of the diverse cultures that coexist in our Manatee-Sarasota general population and foster understanding among them.
