From reforesting with robots to helping heal blood vessels, celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month

September 15 to October 15 is National Hispanic American Heritage Month, which began as Hispanic Heritage Week in 1968 as a time to celebrate the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America.

Princeton Engineering celebrates the outstanding contributions of our students, faculty, researchers and alumni of Hispanic heritage.
