What does Hispanic Heritage Month mean to you?
Dr. Eric Gonzales, Associate Professor & Longitudinal Basic Science Content Expert, says that he sees Hispanic Heritage Month as a time for reflection on how far Hispanics have come as a people and culture. Dr. Gonzales says that it’s a time to look at how they have been in positions of leadership and been “difference makers” and a time to look at where they can and will be in the future.
