Hispanic Heritage Month Underway on Campus

Hispanic Heritage Month on the Eastern campus began with the Ballet Folklorico de Miguel Caro performing on the Dallan Sanders Patio on Sept. 15. Along with dancing, fireworks accompanied the event, officially kicking off Hispanic Heritage Month.

“The purpose of Hispanic Heritage Month is to increase awareness of what Hispanic culture is, says Nancy Vallez of the Hispanic Affairs office. “We want people to be aware that Hispanic Heritage is about so much more than a few holidays, food and dancing.”

To accomplish this, Hispanic Heritage Month will feature a different country every day. Part of teaching about the culture is to feature not only the country, but also their national anthem, their flag and what it means, as well as names and profiles of outstanding leaders from those countries and the contributions they have made to the United States. There are students attending Eastern from six of the represented countries, and they will be making presentations on the day their country is featured.

The Hispanic Affairs Office, comprised entirely of students, sponsors most of the events. The staff includes Nancy Vallez, Lelia Martinez, Hector Martinez and Blanca Rojo. The purpose of this office is to promote Hispanic culture and to help Hispanic students reach their goal of graduation through advocacy and support. “Students can receive with anything from financial aid to how to communicate with a professor,” says Vallez.

The office was founded thanks to AHORA (Association to Help Our Race Advance), an organization that has been at Eastern for 36 years.

Flyers with a calendar of events can be picked up at the Hispanic Affairs Office, located in the Campus Union in The Alley.

Events for this week are:

Oct. 10

Open Enrollment for the Medical Leave Bank through November 30

Medical Leave Bank Policies Explained

What is the Medical Leave Bank?

The medical leave bank is a pool of hours to which any regular employee who earns medical and/or annual leave may donate some of their accumulated leave hours. The purpose of the medical leave bank is to provide medical leave to contributors who have suffered an unplanned personal illness, injury, disability or quarantine and who have exhausted their compensatory time and medical and annual leave balances.

Who is eligible to join?

Any regular ENMU employee who earns medical and annual leave and has a current medical leave balance of at least six days (hours are prorated for part-time employees) as of September 30, 2005, is eligible to participate in the Bank.

How much do I have to contribute?

Initial contribution is three days if you work full-time; hours are prorated if you work part-time. With prior written notice, the medical leave bank committee may request additional hours from the membership if the hours in the bank fall below one day per member.

Who makes decisions on request for time from the bank?

The medical leave bank is administered by a five-member committee appointed by the President to review requests for withdrawal of medical leave from the bank.

How do I enroll?

The medical leave bank policy, enrollment and request forms are available from the office of Personnel Services, Administration Building, Room 207, or by calling the office at 562.2115. Return completed form to Personnel Services, Station 21, by Nov. 30. Members who have been in the Medical Leave Bank for 30 calendar days are eligible to apply for days from the Bank.

Note: If you are already in the Bank, additional contributions are not needed unless notified by the committee.
