From food to financial aid, SCCC observes Hispanic Heritage Month

SAINTS PERSPECTIVE, SCCC President Brad Bennett
Hispanic Heritage Month is in full swing at Seward County Community College, after a kick-off weekend that brought Saints out into the community. At the Southwest Fiesta on Sept. 15, several athletic teams, clubs, and student groups showed up to brighten the parade and help with set-up and table staffing at the fiesta that followed. Traffic was brisk at the Adult Education booth, where students could enroll for the upcoming Session 2 classes in English and GED preparation. Our Hispanic American Leadership Organization students did exactly what their club name refers to: servant leadership. Those students learned even more at the annual "Encuentro" trip to K-State, where they met Hispanic-American leaders and fellow students in pursuit of excellence.
