Multicultural Resource Center Latinx Heritage Month

Interested in attending the Puerto Rican Day parade on Sunday, September 18th in Springfield, MA? RSVP for a spot on the bus. Limited spots available, so reserve yours soon!

Please join the Multicultural Resource Center on Thursday, September 22nd at 7:00PM in Johnson Chapel in welcoming Gabby Rivera as our keynote speaker for Latinx History Month. Rivera is a queer Puerto Rican author and activist dedicated to inspiring young people to live a life that is joyfully open and revolutionary. She made major waves for her Marvel series starring America Chavez, a queer, Latinx superhero. She’s also the author of Juliet Takes a Breath, a critically acclaimed coming-of-age story starring a queer puertorriqueña who leaves her native Bronx behind to intern with one of her literary heroes.

Gabby also hosts a podcast titled Joy Uprising, featuring interviews with Gabby’s “favorite revolutionary humans,” many of them queer people of color, where they share how they find, maintain and nurture their joy in this chaotic world.

In collaboration with the Multicultural Resource Center, La Causa, and LLAS Department please join us for ¡Alza Tu Voz! Latinx Open Mic Night. Come celebrate and appreciate the voices of Amherst Latinx community on Wednesday, October 5th at 6PM in the Friedmann Room.

Join the Multicultural Resource Center on Thursday, October 13th from 4:00-6:00p.m. for a dinner celebrating Latinx Heritage Month. We will have a variety of Latin food: El Comalito, Crave Holyoke, and more! Students, staff, and faculty are welcome!
