How did the club get started? Hispanic Horizons got started through the cofounder of the club, Anderes, who spent his whole semester getting this club going, and trusted me, Keily, to lead the group.
What is the purpose of the club? The purpose of Hispanic Horizons is to promote comfort and community for students while learning Latin culture through fun activities.
What are the benefits of joining? Students benefit from joining Hispanic Horizons by learning more of the Spanish language and Latin culture, bonding with the community at Kirkwood and even participating in events involving food and prizes.
How can students get involved? Students can get involved with Hispanic Horizons by joining our “band” at (https://band.us/n/a1aeAayfD1nfh) and/or attending our meetings every Tuesday in Cedar Hall 3064 at 11:15 a.m. to be part of our group.
When and where do you meet? We meet every Tuesday during activity hour (11:15 a.m.-12:20 p.m.) in Cedar Hall 3064.
What type of activities take place at the meetings? In Hispanic Horizons, we plan to use our club to educate people on Hispanic culture and to create a bonding community with Kirkwood students through fun, small events.
Is there anything else you would like to add? It’s tough for students to go through Kirkwood while struggling with anxiety and stress—not just from studying, but also from working tirelessly at their jobs or missing the feeling of home.
In this club, we create peace by building community with students, almost as if home had never left them.
