This weekend, Auraria Campus will host several celebrations across its 150-acre campus to kickoff Hispanic Heritage Month (HHM), a month-long celebration of the many contributions, diverse cultures, and extensive histories of the American Latine community that runs annually from Sept. 15-Oct. 15. “Being home to a rich mixture of culture, diversity and three Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI), the Auraria Campus is evolving into an epicenter of cultural events in the City of Denver,” said Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) CEO, Colleen Walker. “Our campus looks forward to hosting more multicultural events in years to come, which we consider the perfect platform for events in downtown Denver.”
