🎉 Join the Graduate College of Social Work as we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month!

While the roots of Hispanic Heritage Month (HHM) are similar to other cultural heritage months — such as Native American Heritage Month and Arab-American Heritage Month — its place in Houston, the third-largest Hispanic/Latino population is uniquely distinct. The city is a proud showcase of Hispanic heritage, whether it be in dining, arts, or technology.
