CSULB Celebrates Latine Heritage Month

Published September 16, 2026

Uplifting Our Latine Community at The Beach

California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) is proud to recognize Latine Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15. This heritage month celebration engages the entire campus as we honor the rich cultural diversity of The Beach and commemorate the many contributions of the Latine community. 

Throughout the month, CSULB will offer an array of events, resources, workshops, and opportunities complemented by cultural food, music, and fun. The campus community is invited to learn more about our Latine students, staff, and faculty as we honor their traditions, histories, and voices. 

The Division of Academic Affairs is proud to support academic programs, curriculum, and professional development initiatives that promote inclusive excellence and the holistic success of our students. We are especially committed to our Latine students, who encompass over half of our total student population at The Beach at 52.4% (roughly 22,000 students). To support the largest population of our student body, CSULB offers a myriad of opportunities that aim to promote access to education, advance social mobility, and encourage involvement and participation.
