As Cal State Fullerton launches Latinx Heritage Month 2026, the campus reflects on the depth, diversity and brilliance of Latinx communities across the globe. This month is a powerful reminder of the histories, cultures, and contributions that have long shaped the fabric of society and campus.
CSUF also recognizes the recent celebration of Hispanic-Serving Institutions Week, observed this year from Sept. 7-11. CSUF earned its HSI designation in 2004, signifying that Latinx students comprise over 25% of enrollment. Today, the Latinx community represents more than 50% of the student body and 34% of the Orange County population. Whether Titans are a student, staff or faculty member of any background, learning about and celebrating Latinx cultures contributes to CSUF’s collective work in student success and prepares the campus to continue to serve Orange County and beyond.
From Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, Latinx Heritage Month honors the legacies of individuals who have shaped history and culture. The university invites the campus community to browse the Latinx Community Resource Center’s book display in the Pollak Library, which highlights the resilience, artistry and leadership that emerge from Latinx communities worldwide.
CSUF’s commitment to serving Latina/o/x and Chicana/o/x students is woven into the fabric of the university’s mission. That commitment is strengthened by the efforts of faculty, staff, students and student organizations, some of which include the Latinx Community Resource Center, the Latinx Lab for Storytelling and Social Justice, and the Ánimo: Latinx Counseling Concentration. Together, the Titan community celebrates the richness of Latinidades and affirms its role in advancing equity and opportunity.
Cal State Fullerton invites all members of the Titan community to participate in this year’s programs by visiting the Latinx Heritage Month website to explore upcoming events.
