CINCINNATI, Ohio, Sept. 15, 2017 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Union Institute & University<\/a> is recognizing National Hispanic Heritage Month September 15 \u2013 October 15, 2017 by highlighting the university\u2019s commitment to diversity.<\/p>\n

\"Union
\n\u201cDiversity of thought and academic pursuits are the cornerstones of Union\u2019s mission. Each individual is valued for who he or she is as a person,\u201d said Dr. Nelson Soto, provost and vice president for academic affairs at Union Institute & University.<\/p>\n

Union serves a 26 percent Hispanic adult learner population. It is the only university in Ohio designated as a Hispanic Serving Institution<\/a> (HSI) by the U.S. Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education Hispanic-Serving Institutions Division web page<\/a>. A HIS is defined as a university where total Hispanic enrollment constitutes a minimum of 25 percent of the total enrollment.<\/p>\n

In addition, Union is active in Hispanic Chamber of Commerce associations across the nation.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnion is a beacon of light for adults to further their education,\u201d said Dr. Soto. \u201cVery few places of higher education offer the scholar-practitioner model of academics and real world application. Our curriculum interweaves social connectedness to identify solutions to difficult questions. Union\u2019s faculty is the underpinning of social justice,\u201d said Dr. Soto.<\/p>\n

During National Hispanic Heritage Month, Union will highlight the students, staff and faculty of Hispanic heritage with features, social media posts, and more. In addition, Hispanic Heritage Month posters have been placed at all five academic centers in celebration of the month.<\/p>\n

National Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America.<\/p>\n

The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988, on the approval of Public Law 100-402. The day of September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September 18, respectively. (Source National Heritage Month)<\/p>\n
