TRAINING & EVENTS

Heritage Months

Heritage Months celebrate and recognize the accomplishments and contributions that cultural groups have made to American history, society and culture. VSB UNITAS recognizes that influence and impact of various ethnic and historically marginalized groups through the commemoration of federally observed heritage months. These recognitions are an opportunity for our community to learn more about the experiences and histories of its members, as well as identifying ways in which we can foster an environment that supports inclusivity.

During each observed heritage month, VSB UNITAS organizes two events to acknowledge and celebrate the culture and community associated with that heritage.

• Cultural Conversations aims to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of the variety of cultures within our community. By engaging in thoughtful conversations and sharing experiences, we hope to create an inclusive environment that celebrates our differences and strengthens our sense of unity.
• Spotlight Speaker Series is an engaging and enlightening program that brings influential individuals from various backgrounds to share their expertise, experiences, and insights to students, faculty and staff. The Spotlight Speaker Series aims to ignite curiosity, promote dialogue and create a dynamic space for enhancing cultural competence.
