Each fall, Kenyon celebrates Latinx Heritage Month from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15. This month is designated to celebrate the culture, history and achievements of the Latinx community, and we are excited to share this year's roster of events.
The month will begin with the Opening Ceremony, which will be held on Thursday, Sept. 16 at 11 a.m. EDT via Zoom. Members of the campus community will have an opportunity to learn more about this heritage month, while also celebrating the Latinx culture.
