Wentworth Institute of Technology marked National Hispanic/Latine Heritage Month with a series of events, including the AIX Reception in Watson Auditorium, pictured below.  

The Center for Diversity & Global Engagement recognizes the profound contributions and influence of Hispanic and Latine members of our community. This month is not only a testament to their rich histories, diverse cultures, and countless achievements, but also a pivotal opportunity for all members of Wentworth to come together in appreciation and understanding.  

It all began with one poignant question: Do you believe? 

For Wentworth Institute of Technology President Mark Thompson, the answer is a resounding yes. A belief in Wentworth students to change the world, and in alumni, friends, faculty, and staff to help provide the tools to do so.
