Austin, TX – The following is a statement by Nikki England, President of Southern Careers Institute in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month.
Families celebrate together in community. Today, September 15, marks the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month – a time to recognize the influence and contributions of Hispanic Americans to the place we all call home. For us at Southern Careers Institute, Hispanic Heritage Month is a celebration of the rich culture and diversity of our students, faculty and staff members. And together, as a family, we honor the achievements and contributions of our Hispanic community.
Ideally, we would love to be gathering together at our campuses as we have in the past. However, as we continue to deal with the impact of COVID-19, we will instead be taking our celebrations online via social media. Throughout the month, look for stories about successes, traditions, and memories; and posts about Hispanic leaders who have made a lasting impact in our community.
Be sure to share your Hispanic Heritage Month celebration with us by using #SCIfamilia. Even though our recognition – and parties – will be virtual this year, we will find ways to engage with one another, learn about each other, and have fun as only family can.
