FLAGSTAFF — Northern Arizona University kicked off Hispanic Heritage Month with its inaugural Celebración de NAU held Friday, Sept. 15 at the NAU Field House.
Several hundred students, NAU faculty, staff and administration members, along with members of the pubic, attended the event which was moved inside due to storming weather.
Flagstaff Major Becky Dagger read the City’s Hispanic Heritage Month Proclamation, which was followed by dance performances by Ballet Folklórico de Colores — Flagstaff and a musical performance by Banda Latino Caribeña.
Dozens of information tables greeted visitors including those presented by the NAU First-Generation Program, the NAU Hispanic/Latine Leadership Program, the Latine Student Union, NAU Ethnic Student Program, Flagstaff Nuestras Raíces (supported by the Coconio Hispanic Advisory Council CHAC) and other organizations.
