Save Salsa at the Bell Tower!

Fund Hispanic Heritage Month events such as the annual Salsa at the Bell Tower, professional student development, and cultural events; increase scholarships to assist current UAFS students; create a student intern position whose duties will be to help organize the events.  

Financiar los eventos del Mes de la Herencia Hispana. Sorteo de becas para estudiantes que asisten actualmente a UAFS incluyendo estudiantes indocumentados durante las festividades del Mes de la Herencia Hispana. Contratación de un estudiante interino con pago para ayudar en la organización de las festividades del Mes de la Herencia Hispana.  

This is an opportunity to contribute financially to a cause which directly serves underrepresented students. This is the first time an affinity month can fundraise this way. With your help, we can fund Hispanic Heritage Month events as well as bring exposure to the growing Hispanic community at UAFS.  

You will become part of the Lion family and help give back to the growing Hispanic community. This will allow all students to be exposed to the Hispanic culture in professional fun, and exciting settings while giving everyone an opportunity to grow together. You will be helping the current growing Hispanic student population feel closer to their roots and provide others the opportunity to learn.   

Tu donación aportará recursos valiosos para poder celebrar el mes de la herencia hispana de nuevas maneras en la Universidad y asi exponer nuestra cultura a la cada vez mas alta poblacion de estudiantes con raizes hispanas mientras educamos también a aquellos que desconocen el motivo e importancia de este mes. Con tu ayuda tendremos eventos que cumplan el propósito de este mes: reconocer y celebrar las contribuciones y la presencia vital de los hispanos en Estados Unidos.  

UAFS continues to grow its Hispanic student population who major primarily in our top programs such as Business Administration, Nursing, Biology, Engineering, Psychology and Computer Science.    

For me, Hispanic Heritage Month has been a fantastic experience at UAFS. The month-long exhibitions of art, music, literature, and film have taught us so much about the richness and vitality of the cultures of our Hispanic sisters and brothers. What a wonderful service the leaders of Hispanic Heritage Month at UAFS have done for the river Valley community. I truly look forward to the next Hispanic Heritage Month starting Sept. 15!  -- Kathy Jarvis, area resident
