Heritage Month Calendar
The Heritage Month Calendar is a living document and a work in progress seeking to raise awareness about the accomplisments, triumphs, innovations, histories, and traditions of historically marginalized cultural groups.
If you notice a heritage month without a group/club/contact person - consider starting a club! If you are interested in getting more information on starting a De Anza club, feel free to look through the How to Start a New Club Guide or check out a video from the Inter Club Council on How to Start a New Club.
