Welcoming Hispanic Heritage Month 2025
Riverside City College is proud to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month 2025 with a full lineup of events that honor the history, traditions, and creativity of Hispanic and Latinx communities. From art and music to workshops and conversations, our campus will be filled with opportunities to learn, connect, and celebrate together. As a Hispanic-Serving Institution, we take pride in recognizing the impact Hispanic culture has on our college, our community, and beyond. This month is about more than events — it’s about celebrating heritage, sharing stories, and building connections that strengthen who we are as a campus community. We invite you to join us throughout the month as we come together in celebration of culture, pride, and unity at RCC.
