The MICASA Center and Puente project at El Camino College combined efforts to host the “Voces del Pueblo” open mic event Tuesday, Sept. 23.
Students and faculty stood one-by-one mustering the courage to recite original poems, and pieces by famous Hispanic writers in Room 302 of the Communications Building.
The event became an opportunity to share and listen to Hispanic voices on campus.
It was hosted in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15 each year.

Florentino and Martha Lopez, who also works in the HR Department, are a part of a group in their office who always decorate. "We kinda decorate all the time for every season, and they told us they were going to do trick or treating for the kids coming so we tried to prepare for [them] coming in," Lopez said.
