As Austin Peay State University formally kicks off Hispanic Heritage Month, students reflected on what it personally means to them. “Hispanic Heritage Month means love and respect for the generations before us that had implemented this culture and started everything. The group has collaborated with the Latino Cultural Center to help promote Hispanic Heritage Month events. He helped design this year’s Hispanic Heritage Month t-shirt, incorporating the flags of Hispanic and Latin American countries into a sarape-inspired pattern. Hispanic Heritage Month is Sept. 15 to Oct. 15.
