The Other Side of the Minority Experience at King’s

(OPINION) The King’s College can always do a better job addressing, acknowledging and celebrating events such as Hispanic Heritage Month.

This does not mean the adverse is not true—that negative experiences between students, staff and faculty are nonexistent. It does, however, mean that many minority students do find acceptance in the present community.

King’s has Forgotten Hispanic Heritage Month

Hispanic Heritage Month begins every year on Sept.15, near the beginning of the fall semester, and ends on Oct. 15. As a first-year student, I was surprised I heard no mention of Hispanic Heritage Month by King’s. Now as a senior, I am disappointed that for the past 30 days the school remained silent yet again.
