The Library Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month & HSI Week!
With 40% of our Students and 20% of our Faculty/Staff identifying as Hispanic or Latina/o/x, we honor the cultures, histories, and voices that make our campus vibrant. The Library's Latinx Resource Guide and Lowriders Exhibit are designed to foster cultural understanding and affirm the identities and contributions of our students, faculty, and staff.
Hispanic Heritage Resource Guide
In the spirit of transforming Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI), Monterey Peninsula College and California State University Monterey Bay have collaborated to celebrate HSI-week and National Hispanic Heritage Month, September 15 through October 15, 2025, by showcasing literature and online resources about the experiences of Hispanic and Latino/a/x groups. HSI Week is September 7 through the 13, 2025.
