Festive celebration for Hispanic heritage

The celebration for the Hispanic heritage held in the quad Oct. 15 brought awareness of the different types of Hispanic culture.

"The turnout was good," Senator Andrea Cabrera said. "Everyone got food. A couple of students were dancing to the music."

Booths served tacos, burritos, rice and other foods of Hispanic cultures. Aztec dancers provided entertainment while Spanish salsa music played in the background.

Posters depicting major Hispanic people of influence such as Supreme Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor were on display while flags from different Hispanic countries flew.

"The event went very well," Senator Sullivan Lewis said. "There were over 200 students."

The event, originally scheduled for Oct. 14, was moved because of rain. ASCC members were determined not to cancel the event.

"We were very excited for Las Prisas willing to provide the food for the event," said ASCC President James Applewhite II. "Celebration of the Hispanic Heritage month was a great way for students to experience the culture."
