I would like to dedicate this blog to Hispanic Heritage Week that was sponsored by Kaleidoscope for the first time ever in Hanover College history. Last week was filled with successful events to celebrate Hispanic heritage.

Ruben Castillo Herrera was the keynote speaker to kick off our Hispanic Heritage Week. He shared information about the Latino culture, demographics and issues regarding the Latino community. He also discussed the need for communities to develop a common understanding, by looking at differences and similarities, through the lens of his life as a Latino in the United States (in particular in Ohio).

Kaleidoscope ended the week successfully with a fiesta that celebrated the week of events and Hispanic Heritage as a whole.
I would like to thank those individuals who helped such a great event take place and those who participated in all the events that Kaleidoscope had to offer the campus.
Thank you to Taran McZee, Kaleidoscope, the Hispanic Heritage Committee (Director Christina Howard), Eric Moore (Salsa Lessons) and everyone who came out to support Kaleidoscope in their journey to celebrate Hispanic Heritage week.
Look forward to many more events from Kaleidoscope as we try and promote diversity and unite Hanover College as one.
