FYI: September is Hispanic Heritage Month

[McGinnis, Scott]

September is Hispanic Heritage Month.   Please make an effort to
recognize the accomplishments of U.S. Latinos this month and to inform
your students of the opportunities available for Spanish speakers in the

U.S. and abroad.

Below are several web sites put together by the Smithsonian Institute in

celebration of this month.
