San Joaquin Delta College Celebrates Latine Heritage Month each year between September 15th and October 15th. Formerly named “Hispanic Heritage Month,” Latine Heritage Month celebrates the diverse Latine cultures of Stockton and surrounding communities. Celebrate with us all month long!

This is a student-produced event hosted by ASDC, the Office of Student Life, and the Digital Media Department (DMEDIA), in collaboration with Puente, the Chicanx Latine Faculty Task Force (CLF), and La Raza Employee's Association.
