National Hispanic Heritage Month
Hello All,
Welcome back!
I am very excited to bring the Diversity Speaker & Performance Series back again this year...virtually! The first event in the lineup is on Wednesday, September 22, 2021 at 12:15 p.m. and it is my pleasure to welcome Dr. Moogega Cooper.
A real life “Guardian of the Galaxy,” Dr. Moogega “Moo” Cooper holds the awesome responsibility of keeping the red planet safe from any of the Earth’s contaminants.
Moo is the planetary protection lead of the famed NASA 2020 Mars mission—with its highly viewed landing on February 18, 2021. Learn more about Dr. Cooper here!
REGISTER HERE FOR THIS EVENT
I am also excited to offer a virtual "Meet & Greet with Dr. Cooper" before her campus talk. If you or your students are interested in meeting with Dr. Cooper, please feel free to contact me. Space is limited, so please plan accordingly. For more information on the Diversity Speaker & Performance Series, please visit the website or contact diversityseries@stcc.edu.
September 15-October 15 is National Hispanic Heritage Month and this is a time to recognize the rich heritage, legacy and accomplishments of Hispanic and Latinx people. The Office of Multicultural Affairs is proud to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with the September edition of the resource guide "The Culture Section", which will give you some quick information and resources for various national holidays and cultural heritage months. This issue specifically talks about National Hispanic Heritage Month and its importance in American history. This guide was carefully created to give more insight into the significance of Hispanic Heritage Month and why we celebrate it nationally. This is not all the information available regarding National Hispanic Heritage Month and I would encourage everyone to take time out to learn more about it and if you choose to, take part in the many events and activities available to celebrate it.
See you there!

Emergency Broadband Benefit
Yesterday, the FCC announced that households with a member approved to receive benefits under the free and reduced-price school lunch program or the school breakfast program, including through the USDA Community Eligibility Provision, in the current 2021-2022 school year are also eligible for the Emergency Broadband Benefit. This expands on the original program eligibility rules that included the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 school years.
Many students are already back in the classroom this year and broadband access is a critical tool for success. Please help build awareness about the EBB program by sharing our new back-to-school toolkit materials with your community.
