GROVE CITY, Pa. – The Grove City College Office of International Education will host a Hispanic Heritage Celebration from 5 to 8 p.m. on Oct. 9 in the Breen Student Union. The Intercultural Club, the College’s language honorary Alpha Mu Gamma, the Spanish Club and Spanish classes will co-host and the Student Government Association will sponsor the event.
Lois Johnson, director of the international education office, said she hopes the College can celebrate a different region of the world each year. Past celebrations have included last year’s Asian New Year and a St. Patrick’s Day Scottish-Irish celebration.
This year’s celebration includes:
• 6-6:30 p.m. – Alumni music performance, Spanish singing and guitar
playing
• 6:30-7 p.m. – Students Hispanic dance demonstration
• 7-8 p.m. – Performances of Latin and Mexican music by performers
from Pittsburgh
• 8 p.m. – Closing and piñata breaking
In addition, Hispanic food will be served in the College’s cafeterias and in the Student Union. The International Education Office will offer free nachos, salsa and drinks, and members of the Intercultural Club will make Spanish delicacies for a fundraiser.
Several clubs will have activity tables available, and students who studied abroad in Hispanic countries will present slideshows of their experiences.
“We’d like students to discover the diversity of different cultures,” said Lynn McQuiston, international education office manager, “to expand their thinking to a global level, to have students realize the vast possibilities for study abroad experiences.”
