    Hispanic Heritage Month Case Study

    I believe one good idea for Hispanic Heritage Month would be to expand and seek co- sponsorship from different organizations on campus to alleviate the costs that come along with events and receive different perspectives of how an events should be ran. Also, a greater number of organizations would mean a larger audience and more volunteers and participants to aid with development of an event. Since I’m applying for the Assistant Pageant Director, high quality photos should be taken at the event by asking other students if they have a professional camera, I own one of these type of cameras, and also setting up a photo booth area with a wide range of props. Also, having a hashtag for the event such as #HHMPageant or #MrHSA&MsHSA to increase…

    Analysis Of Dia De Los Muertos

    This year’s event we did the theme of Remembering Our Students/ Recordando Nuestros Estudiantes. In relation to the current movements regarding Black Lives Matter, police brutality, Ayotzinapa 43, school shootings, and indigenous women missing. I think this event is important to our campus, because SCSU is a diverse campus with very close minded individuals. So this brings the aspect of culture and tradition with the Dia de Los Muertos celebration and MEChA’s activist focus of political issues. These two combined can provide knowledge and awareness to those students who are unaware or misinformed. As well as taking on the problem of cultural appropriation with the recent American popularization of sugar skulls and Dia de…

Easter has always had its non-religious side. In fact, Easter was originally a pagan festival. It was co-opted by Christian missionaries starting in the second century CE. Easter must be celebrated on a Sunday between the dates of March 22 and April 25.…
