Cultural Heritage Months
In the United States, cultural celebrations matter greatly, because they help better explain the stories and histories of diverse ethnic and identity cultures. These cultural celebrations provide the opportunity to recognize the complexities and richness of each cultural identity. It is important to understand and appreciate these stories within the greater American narrative.

Students, faculty, staff, and community members are also invited to join the annual Unity Walk with President R. Gerald Turner.
