Queensborough Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month 2025
Queensborough is excited to celebrate with members of our community who identify as Hispanic, Latino/a, and Latinx. National Hispanic Heritage Month, observed each year from September 15 to October 15, is a time to honor the rich histories, vibrant cultures, and lasting contributions of people with roots in Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.
What began as a week-long observance in 1968 grew into a month-long celebration in 1988. The timing is intentional: September 15 marks the independence anniversaries of several Latin American countries, including Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. We invite everyone in our campus community to join us in recognizing and celebrating.
“…after a time you may recognize that the proper measure of success is not how much you’ve closed the distance to some far-off goal but the quality of what you’ve done today.”
— Sonia Maria Sotomayor, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States
