PLAINVIEW — Wayland Baptist University’s School of Humanities and Leadership is excited to host the annual Festival Hispano de Cultura y Lengua (Hispanic Language and Culture Festival) on Thursday, Feb. 6.
The event welcomes approximately 200 students from regional high schools to the Plainview campus for a day filled with cultural celebration, educational experiences, and artistic expression.
"We are thrilled to host this special event, which not only celebrates the beauty of the Hispanic culture and language but also brings together young students to experience the university environment," said Dr. Erin Heath, Associate Dean.
Festival activities will primarily take place in Harral Memorial Auditorium, with additional lunchtime events in the Laney Student Activities Center. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in various interactive sessions highlighting the richness of Hispanic language and culture, engage with peers from across the region, and enjoy a showcase of student artwork.
"I encourage everyone to take a moment to appreciate the student artwork displayed around the auditorium. It’s always a highlight—vibrant, fun, and inspiring,” Dr. Health said. “The piñatas are a personal favorite!"
The Festival Hispano de Cultura y Lengua is one of the many ways Wayland Baptist University continues to support education, diversity, and cultural enrichment within the local community. Faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to join in welcoming the visiting high school students and to share in this unique celebration.
