Hispanic Heritage Month began in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon B. Johnson. In 1988, under President Ronald Reagan, the week-long celebration was extended to cover a 30-day period—from September 15 through October 15. And on August 17, 1988, it was enacted into law.
New York Institute of Technology celebrates the Hispanic members of our community who are doing great things in their academic and professional careers as well as cultural communities. The Box sat down with five faculty, staff, and students.
