Welcome to the Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration at MDC – Padrón Campus!
This year’s theme, Collective Heritage: Honoring the Past, Inspiring the Future, invites us to reflect on the voices, stories, and traditions that shape Latinx culture in the United States.
On this page, you’ll find a collection of poems read by MDC – Padrón Campus students. The selections come from Latino Poetry: The Library of America Anthology, edited by Rigoberto González, and highlight the diversity, resilience, and creativity of our shared heritage.
Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with us from September 15 – October 15. Explore the calendar of events to join us in honoring the past and inspiring the future together.
